I'm not trying to be obnoxious (maybe it comes easily), but there sure are a lot of Canadians who would like to tell us how to run our country. I don't see Americans getting so involved in Canadian politics. Now I like Canadians, and I think in general they are a pretty good people.

The French, however, are arrogant (with virtually nothing to be arrogant about) and corrupt. As said above, they were making ton of money off Saddam's regime and that is the reason they opposed our intervention. That and the UN Secretary General's son was running the oil for food program for Iraq and making a fortune off the corrupt diversion of funds. Getting rid of Saddam meant eliminating the gravy train.

Here is a link to an MSNBC article on the "Oil for Food Scandal." I think the French and UN Officials will be implicated, and the reasons for their support of Saddam and opposition to the US action will become evident.
