Allright, much has been said about the reason the US want to go to war. Oil, WMD, crimes againist Iraqi people. But what are the main motivation of France, Russia and Germany being dead againist it?
Could it be that they are peace loving people againist all wars, or really think the inspections are going to bring forth a de-militarized Iraq?
Well I do believe they feel this way, but is this the only reason they oppose war? Are there other motivations to oppose war?
I was watching the news the other day and it showed the intretests France and Russia has in Iraq. I cant remember the news channel and i looked around (not very hard) for an article and couldnt find one but this is what i remember.
Russia has a LARGE stake in devolping oil fields in Iraq post sanctions.
France has a LARGE stake in producing oil in Iraq post sanctions.
There was more but i cant remember them. But should we examine the financial reasons these countries are backing Iraq like we are examining the US reasons?
If anyone has any info on these please post them, i am intrested in what people from both sides of the arguement think about that.
