Hi quehubo; Re: "The Iraqi's are surprised at the lack of generosity of the French and Germans? The point should be driven home that the Iraqi' population was supposed to be exploited by Saddam and his French, German and Russian supporters. Now token support to the Iraqi people's benefit should be no surprise."

The only piece of evidence we have that the "Iraqi's" are surprised at the lack of generosity of the French and Germans is the words of a US appointed Iraqi not yet leader. It would be more accurate to say that the "American's" are surprised, LOL.

In fact, the recent polls show that the Iraqi people are considerably more fond of the French than the Americans. It's quite possible that killing so many Iraqis (while the French killed none) have soured the survivors on us.
