      I think its just a little bit hypocritical for a lot of these supposed "free market" conservatives saying France and Germany shouldn't be involved in reconstruction. Is some silly grudge more important than possibly wasting tax payer dollars with Halliburton? I guess it's obvious where the administration's loyalties are. The "free market" ideology takes a backseat to political kickbacks and no-bid contracts.


      How is giving government contracts AT ALL 'free market'?

                Yeah -- maybe it's best that those Americans crazy enough to do this, do not know this was a gift from France.

                  well, remember, it was the french terrorist group silhouette that demolished the statue of liberty. it's a nice monument now, especially with the military bases nearby.

                    Hey,

                    Sorry, but unless the Iraqis collected all the fragmenst and reconstructed the bombs we droped from 91-03, America did not give any arms to Saddam's regime during this period.

                    I do not hold France in any disregard for arming Iraq before 91, nore do I look down on us (America) for doing so either. We had a much larger game going on at that time, and Saddam was nessecary then, and we needed him armed. Things change, and so does the necesity of Saddam. I think the benefit of collapsing the Soviet Union to the cost of either France or America arming Saddam was a good trade. Ask Eastern Europe.

                    We don't hold Frace resposible for all the British sailors killed and ships sunk in the Falklands (or for the Stark) for good reason, why should we hold America resposible for pre war Iraq?

                      I still can't believe a rag-tag terrorist group lying in the catacombs could do this

                            The ability to change govt types in just one turn is way to valuable. The UN wonder doesnt seem to be working correctly though .......

                                I think that describes 9/10 of the countries out there. The 1/10 who don't care about money are either so rich money doesn't matter or so poor that they couldn't help even if they wanted to.
