First of all: I'm no parrot. Read my posts. I changed my mind only very recently on France.

We were one of Iraq's biggest arms supplier up until the Gulfwar so don't bame Germany up until 1991.

Post '91, I agree Germany has some explaining to do. But this is a difference of degrees. There have even been US companies profiting from Iraqi oil & making illegal exports to Iraq in the past 10 yrs. Shades of grey. Throw Russia, China in there too.

But France has rallied the world to sabotage Colin Powell's efforts. This is unforgivable on so many levels. France is in the black.

G8 Meeting in St. Petersburg this year...maybe

That should be interesting; Chirac; Putin; Schroeder and Bush in the same room face to face pretending to be allies...this will be a stretch for Bush let alone Citizen Jacques... by the way the US wants to leave Iraq and its ordinary citizens as unscathed as possible..mass casualities caused by US bombing are not going to happen. period.
