After the way the UN botched enforcement of 17 previous resolutions, they certainly don’t deserve any say in the rebuilding of Iraq. I think the US, Britain and the Aussies can handle the rebuilding ourselves. Oh yeah, France, we’re canceling those oil contracts you were counting on.

They are a major trading partner of Iraq.* The Frogs point a finger at US of being “in it for the oil,” but they’ve got four fingers pointing back at them. If there’s a regime change in Iraq, they will probably lose all their oil contracts and that will hurt them, big time.
