Let's check the CIA fact book for all our Middle East information needs. Because, Lord knows, the CIA is the place to go for concrete truth. No disinformation there, ever, nosiree.
Now, Pantydude, lest you get your undies in a twist, I happily concede that France and Russia and Germany have vested interests in the current regime. That's been public knowledge for a while. I'm not silly enough to think that these countries are protesting war out of concern for the Iraqi people any more than I think we're really going in there to 'liberate' them. They're just on the opposite side of the bullshit spectrum. We want what Iraq has. These other countries are making money off Iraq, and we're going to fuck up their profits.
My point is, the only people that are truly concerned about the welfare of the Iraqi people, are the Iraqi people.
