America want's to impliment a clean slate government into Iraq, the Europeans don't want this because it will promote the change for the Iraqi oil back to the US dollar. At the moment it is exchanged in the value of the Euro. That is why Germany, France and Russia have a problem with this war...
That's the war in a nutshell. A simple way to put all the complex issues attached to this war.

The vast majority of the public in France and Germany are against the war, they are democratic countries. The reason that 90% of people in France are against war is not because of some Rush Limbaugh propaganda about the euro versus the dollar.
The exact same could be said of why the U.S. does want a war. Bush doesn't really care about terrorism or humanitarianism, he just wants to attack Iraq because he wants to take the oil and turn it into dollars instead of euros.
See how easy that is? When you look at it like that, is it more ethical to start a war for money or to oppose a war for money? To kill people for money, or to not kill people for money?
