Do you really they declared their opposition based on moral reasons or their own self-interest?
You do realise:
1) 25% of Iraq's trade is with the French
2) Numerous French companies have violated sanctions and embargo restrictions
3) French oil giant, TotalFinaElf recently negotiated a contract to exploit Iraq's southern oil fields, worth $40 to $60 billion. Contract will only come to fruition with Saddam in power
4) The long personal relationship between Saddam and Chirac has been documented since the 70s.
