    You probably can't put GPL notices on your homework (your sig). Most universities have some stake in your work. But hey, go break the law. Pray to the GPL god.

    France was right. There was nothing in it for them. I mean aside from *ahem* managing the 40 billion dollars that was stolen from the Iraqi people, and their vastly below market value deals for Iraqi oil that..

    And that's remarkably different from the way oil is treated now... like, Iraqi people getting the fair market price for themselves, right? It's not, like, used to rebuild country that was demolished by an invading army; contracts handed out by party responsible for destruction, paid for by assets they confiscated?

    Asshat, France and Germany could have stopped the war. Know how? Call the US's bluff. Give in to a hard line for invasive UN inspections backed up by military ultimatum

    And I have a nice bridge to sell you for fair price. Do you honestly think Bush would have given up his idea of dethroning Saddam? That was his goal, and WMD (and various other rumours spread) was only the leverage used to enable that. I mean, even most people who consider war justified agree that this was very personal. Unfinished job son inherited from father.

    France and others could have gone along, but there would always have been something Iraqi regime did wrong, form US administration viewpoint; no matter what. In a way, France and Germany DID call it; and found out GWB was not really bluffing.
