It pisses me off how people can be immune to facts and just repeat the same old lines. In E.T.'s case, they are: (1) France opposed Iraq's invasion just because of their financial interest in Iraq, so they are bastards and opposing Iraq must be wrong. (2) Invading Iraq was good because Saddam was a bloody dictatory, and I don't care if we killed thousands, destroyed international law, not to mention the US's credibility and legitimate leadership, AND made the world more dangerous for Americans in the meanwhile.
