Where are these Iraqis? "And I don't care whether it's Lukoil or any other Russian oil company.. The fact remains that Saddam is in debt to Russia for some $7 billion... And that amounts to 7 billion reasons why the Russians would rather have him in power than anyone else. And the French sold Saddam over $1.5 Billion in goods over the past several years.. That's 1.5 Billion reasons for them to keep him in power..." Is this the same reason why America protects Isra'El from UN inspections, silence of their not having signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the allowing of the continuation of demolishing Palestinian homes and building more settlements? Does the door swing both ways on this? len
