The Afghanistan situation is acceptable because the warlords there are pro-US and anti-Taliban. As far as post-war Iraq, it is important no contracts to rebuilding Iraq to France or Germany, though I suppose if they wanted to send peacekeepers that'd be ok. I'd prefer any help we get come from countries other than France and Germany though...

That approach is more logical. Cause while your arm-chair diplomats are talking abotu flower power and inspections, Saddam's troops are digging themselves into the center of the earth knowing the whole things a joke.
I could of sworn that just an hour ago you said that most of the Iraqi army is going to surrender first chance it gets.

It's not hate, but rather a profound sense of sadness and resentment that results from being stabbed in the back by countries we thought were our friends...KH FOR OWNER!

Personally, I would want the French and Germans to contribute some dough, since any rebuilding money is coming directly from my pocket.
The way these things will work is that any money put in is spent on contracts for companies from your own country. French and German companies might be locked out of some of the more lucrative aspects of the oil industry, but if the French or German governments want to pay their own way, I wouldn't want to turn them down.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The rest of the world, not just old europe. By ramming through an illegal war that will come around to bite us in the ass, just for an example.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

We do not expect our friends to necessarily agree with us when we raise a problem, and we do not reject them as enemies when they desagree. It seems that we were not friends after all.Statistical anomaly.

Again, French behavior has gone far beyond mere disagreement with the US. Other countries, like Canada, disagree with the US but didn't go out and actively build opposition to the United States' wishes. That's why I still consider Canada our friend, while France is not...KH FOR OWNER!
