Actually Laure250, ironically, the French opposed the USA invading Iraq because FRANCE was making so much money from Iraqi oil. France had many oil deals going with the Baathist regime, and many embarassing documents have turned up in Iraq showing that French and UN officials were making millions stealing from the Oil for Food program. I don't think anybody from France deserves to die (a very nice friend of mine is from France), but I do think the people have a serious attitude problem, which forces Americans to stand up and try and defend themselves. This then makes the Americans look like over-patriotic asses.
