its really funny how people want to say the US wants oil and therefore wants war... and they dont seem eager to talk about Frances almost 2 Billion Dollar a year trade relationship with Iraq as well as pending oil development contracts.
people quickly forget that all nations act in accordance to their best interest. that is the first responsibility of a government to its people.
I watched the French Foreign Minister give an interview and he was beyond ambiguous. He began by forcefully saying "we will oppose ANY military action..." continued by preaching about law, order, peace and democracy and the need for unity on the issue... and then once he had painted himself into a corner, he finished by saying "er... well... yeah... uh.... i mean if Iraq refuses to cooperate and there is a Security Council Resolution to use force, then of course we will support that decision"
