Ahh the cold war as well as the concerns about Iran in the 70's. All good reasons to blame the US and British for 210,000 killed between the Gulf War and the present.
And better yet the US aided Saddam Hussein into power there's a good excuse, of course some where there is a document stating Saddam Hussein was going to engage in mass murder once in power and everyone concerned saw this as reasonable.
Gee what other governments has the US or British aided since the end of W.W.II besides all of Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.
Lets just blame everything on the US so everyone else can feel better huh??
So what? It doesn't change anything. If USA was not to invade Iraq back in 1991 because ex-USSR retaliations, what makes you think France can do better?

Incorrect. France isn't a full NATO member.
Spain. I hope you are not willing to go off-topic, would you?

Makod, may I ask your country of origin (if not America). It only seems fair that someone with such hatred for America should not be ashamed to tell??

Easy, because Toltec used the same excuse to dismiss USA guiltiness.

Well duh!!!
Then why make the bloody statement in the first place!!!
You used it to strengthen your crappy argument and then when you get proven wrong you say "So what".
Well hey!!! Makod is an idiot. Quick!!! Someone prove me wrong!!!
Time has proven that it's USA what is knee deep on crap. Even worst, the war to achieve 'democracy' (originally intended to find WMDs still not found) has been proven failed:

Excuse me Makod my issue was not that the French should have invaded Iraq. But rather the information gathered (in question) should have been used to
support the US against Iraq.
What has happened simply does not make sense and the French government is knee deep in the crap.
