Thanks for the replies. I'm curious as to the POV of people who feel France did what it did due to business reasons or for reasons of spiting the US, what about other traditional US allies who - for the first time - didn't back the US play.
Take Canada for instance - few business ties to Iraq, no "former world power exhibiting jealousy", etc. Canada felt that the war, udner the circumstances, was unjustified plain and simple and the majority of Canadians backed the government on that call.
Why MUST the French motives (or the German or whoever) be the result of some sinister feelings or plot, while the motives of other nations like Canada are accepted as "well, their electorate didn't want war, so they didn't go to war" and that's OK?
