I find it a bit hypocritical of some countries that they first oppose the liberation of Iraq and label the US as evil, and then demand the right to rebuild Iraq *using US money*. If it were *their* money, it'd be another thing altogether, of course.

Absolutely. I love how the EU is now "investigating" whether the policy is legal. Basically, they're trying to say that the international community should be the ones to determine how America can spend its money.
