No, France just turns a blind eye to all that in the hopes of collecting money later.

How much are we going to get out of Iraq? Well, first we have to realize that we're sinking, oh, about $80 BILLION dollars in to this war. I'm paying for that, as are my fellow citizens. Then, we're going to have to rebuild the damn country, and we'll probably spend at least $300 or $400 doing that, which puts what we *should* recoup right at about $80,000,000,400 (guessing). Iraq's oil reserves aren't so spectacular that we're going to be swimming in money, Rucita. I'm sorry, but it's just not the way it is. It's not about money or oil. The argument just doesn't hold up.

"Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." If you saw a man raping a woman, and you had the power to do something about it, would you?

France wouldn't, because the rapist owes them money. Are you really in the same boat?
