The French govt is no better than the US govt same with the Brits as if you look at history the Brits were empire building in the mid east long before the US ever got involved.
You forget to mention the main reason the French and the Russians were against going into Iraq was because they were currently doing millions of dollars of business with Iraq illegally by-passing the sanctions.
Sure I don't agree with us going into Iraq and I think it was wrong, but don't hold the Frenchies up to be holier than hell when they are only out for their own interests. If the French would have been able to gain financially by going into Iraq they would have been along for the ride as well.

I don't have any valid articles about the French in Sierra Leone but there are allegations
