As for France, please explain how a country, whose current president had Saddam as a contributor to his election fund, can be impartial. France is no longer an ally of the US. IMO France is now an enemy of the US.


How can you say so?
1. I do not belive that Saddam funded Chirac's election campaign as this sounds REALLY very incredible. Prove me the opposite. I do believe that this might have been stated in the US media but, at the moment, they are completely biased.
2. France disagrees on a particuliar issue. That does not mean it is opposed to the USA in any other way. Just because there are different opinions does not mean that a friendship should be lost, or even more, new rivalties arise.
3. Don't you think 'freedom fries' is just so incredibly rediculous? Say what you want, but what is now going on in the US is a very dangerous kind of national racism.
4. To come back to 1): In the early 1980's Saddam Hussein was backed up by the United states of America until 1988. Only thus was he able to maintain his power within his country. The US was interested in Iraq starting a war with Iran, which they actually did. So, in a way, USA has made its own 'Frankenstein'-monster. Same is true for the Taliban in Afghanistan. Their putch was funded by CIA-money. Even worse: In the late 1970's Al-Quaida and Osama Bin-Laden was funded by the USA becuase they were fighting against the Soviet Union. "The foe of my foe is my friend". But obviously, such actions can backfire very quickly Sad

Please do not judge nations and people just due to some rumours or subjective impressions.
