    France actually said to Britain that they would not veto any UN resolution in a message that got lost by the Brittish government. And if your accusing France of opposing the war at any cost the same argument can be brought against the US - supporting the war at any cost. But this is all past now, and Iraq - without schools, water, electricity and hospitals (all previously provided by that mean dictator - but somehow forgotton by their occupiers), is the country that has to suffer.

    Actually they're not his own people at all. Unlike much of the western countries Iraq is not a nation state, if you like they are a bunch of different tribes pushed into one area by the british after WW1. This is why democracy won't work there - democracy is an ideal built upon a nation state. The gassings you refer to was an attack on the Kurds, an event which provoked a UN resolution to be proposed, only for th US to veto it (they after all were funding Iraq at the time). Also, just before WW2 the kurds were mustard gassed by... Britain - under authorisation of Winston Churchill of all people. So as you can see, no one is innocent here.

    It is possible, but socialism and capatalism go against each other, and the wests imposition of capatalism over the world makes it difficult. France is a country where the govornment controls capatalism by owning some of the large busineses.

    Charging for reading will only alienate uneducated/unwealthy people from reading even more, furthering the class gap in society.
