-France said even before that iraqi gunboat war that Saddam had WMD. The difference is that according to the french intelligence, it was not an immediate threat for the neighbours of Iraq and even less for the West. Murdoch's propaganda portraying Saddam like the new Hitler, rolling in the streets of Manhattan with his 40 years old T-55s shipped by the two fishing boats of the Iraqi Navy is simply ridiculous. ANYONE can make a chemical attack in the US, whenever they want. Bush sure should invade the whole planet if wants to avoid all the threat.
-France is 1500 years old, not 1000. It was founded by the baptism of Clovis I in 496.
-Sure France had interests in Iraq, and its natural that Iraq pays the debt that it owns to France. They've got enough petrol to refund us. Iraq owes me money, as a taxpayer. And it's natural for any country to see badly an US rule Iraq, because of the well know US tendancy of monopolizing the oversea markets. So far, the majority of the markets have been given to US companies. Want to give them freedom à l'américaine? Heh, sounds like UK or France coming in the kingdom of the Great King Humgulugulu, shooting twice with their gunboat, and selling them their mirrors and pearls, and bringing them, of course, "civilization". The day you'll understand that exporting values is one of the most anti-democractic thing. Europeans did it between the XVIth and XXth century, you know what happened. Now that the americans enjoy imperialism, they're doing the same bull****. Let Iraq decide by itself what it wants to do, don't act like generous idiots, because you're like an elephant in a porcelain shop.
