".......Maybe you should be asking why France, Russia, and Germany considered Saddam's brutal regime to be of more strategic importance to THEM, than their good relationship with the US. ..." According to whose standards is Saddam's regime brutal? Is he the only tyrant? What about Rwanda, Cuba, Robert Mugabe, etc. etc. These and many other tyrants exist in the world today. But what has been US' response to these tyrants. Where has Saddam gone after other nations (Kuwait and Iran aside) Kuwait and Iran are history. This guy was doing things for himself in his own country. Anyway, time will tell whether the Iraq war was a just war or not. And at that time we will not only be in a better position to judge Bush's and Blair's actions, but I would hope that we would stop ridiculing Europe. I am sure we Americans have better things to do than munching French Fries and calling them Freedom Fries instead and then feel good about it. Come on America, you are capable of exhibiting a behavior which is more mature than that.
