I like how the blame is put on America and George Bush for Iraq. Time to resurrect a dead horse, but people seem to forget either willingly or not, about all the shady dealings governments like France and Russia, and even Germany to an extent had with Iraq and Saddam. You had French companies like TotalFinaElf with 60+ billion dollars worth of contracts on the table with Saddam, you had French Foreign ministers on the take from Saddam's oil in the Oil-for-Food scandal, the majority of Iraqi's air force and helicopters were all French; then there's Russia, which as a country took over 8 billion dollars worth of oil from Saddam, plus was selling him weapons illegally, the main outfitter of Saddam's army (infront of

France and Germany), plus both countries were owed money by Saddam, chances are they aren't going to get it now that he is gone. Also China fits in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy atm to throw out any dirt on them.

So tell me again why we should try and deal/mend fences with shady ass fuckers like that?
