In 2002 Iraq accounted for accounted for 0.15% of our exports and 0.30% of our imports. As far as food suppliers go, France ranked behind Australia in 2002, 13th to 8th respectively. One US corporation between 1998-2002 did $100 million in business with Iraq; that corporation's name is of course Haliburton. Other US corporations did another $400 million in business with Iraq over the same time period. In 2001, the US bought by itself ~40% of Iraq's oil exports. As far as debt issues are concerned, France is owed ~$1.8 billion, while the US is owed $2.1 billion. The fact is that lots of countries had a very cozy relationship with Iraq over the years, including of course the US and France, and that your accusations are bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
Re: the other countries mentioned - the fact that French banks do business around the world is hardly surprising, nor should it be stopped. The best way to liberalize - wow, capitalism, who would have thought of that; no one here apparently, you anti-capitalist goons - the world's economies is by doing business with them, not by throwing up useless embargoes (e.g., Cuba). The fact is that America has been more than willing to trade with and loan money to rather odious regimes - Romania, South Africa, and even the USSR - the fact that France does the same thing that the US has done historically and still does (China, the various "republics" of central Asia, Egypt, Jordan, etc.) and that you criticize and otherwise try to single out French actions without doing the same re: American actions again sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
Dissident Frogman,
A word of advice from an American President, specifically George Washington; to paraphrase, don't love another country more than your own. BTW, I suggest that if you really want to become an American citizen, that you stop the pretense of being a Frenchman, give up your passport tommorrow and move to the US. In other words, get some damn backbone and act on your beliefs.
