The only reason that France and Germany bullied the rest of the EU into going against the US is that they were:
1. Making Billions off of shady back door "oil for food" deals with Saddam Hussain
2. Had a deal with Saddam to convert the trading units for oil from petrodollars to petroeuros.
The European goverments were concerned with money that they were making from Iraq.... that's all.

and what was in it for the hundred of other countries who were against it?
