How exactly are these two situations comparable?

As someone said already The French, Germans, Russians, Chinese, etc. didn't sold weapons to the Iraq, if so it were single companys similar to Halliburton. hose deals were not allowed by the goverments (at least in Germany and France) if those accusations are true the managers of those companys are in really seep trouble.
