That was exactly the reason why so many people in europe rejected the idea of helping in this war.
They thought the US was just in iraq for their own agenda and not WMD, anit-terror or liberation of the iraqi people.

Don't think that they were on some morally rightous crusade, they were self serving their own interests.

Yes of course they were serving their interests just like the US was.
All the moral justifications of the US have melted down to nothing. Moral was not so much cited by the europeans before the war. For the people on the street it was more like we don't buy the story like the US tells it.
Europeans saw their continent in pieces through wars twice in the 20th century because of mistakes they made. Families wiped out and homes destroyed. You don't go to war lightly if you have gone through this.
