Hmaly, France, Germany and Russia were for continued, and even stricter sanctions

Only starting in 2002, and only because "stricter sanctions" was a counterproposal to using military force in Iraq. Even in 2000, France and Russia were arguing for lighter sanctions, even lifting them, because of their ineffectiveness except in making the people of Iraq suffer.

Of course, once America kicked Saddam out, France and Russia were right there arguing that sanctions shouldn't be lifted unless it can be "proven" that Iraq has no more WMD. Funny how that never seemed to be a factor to them until after Saddam was relieved of power.
