mmmmm I don't really think that Boeing care about who were in Iraq:

Nov. 10, 2004 -- Boeing [NYSE:BA] has selected Latecoere of Toulouse, France, to provide the passenger doors for its all-new 7E7 Dreamliner airplane. This marks the first time that Boeing has selected a French provider for major airframe structure.

Latecoere joins a growing list of French partners on the 7E7 team. Dassault Systemes is providing the suite of software tools used to develop, manufacture and support the 7E7 for its lifetime. In addition, Snecma Group companies Messier-Dowty, Messier-Bugatti and Labinal are providing main and nose landing gear, wheels and electric braking systems, and wiring respectively. Thales has been selected to provide the electrical power conversion system and the integrated standby flight displays.

"Latecoere has been helping us develop 7E7 technologies for nearly a year," said Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 7E7 program. "The company brings great enthusiasm and knowledge to the team with a specialized skill in providing doors."

You are right.

This is a very important part:

"A Boeing delegation has also come to Poland to try to sell new planes to the national airline LOT, the agency said."

Airplanes produced by Boeing has been used in LOT since many years. Soon LOT should buy a few new airplanes. Both LOT and PZL Mielec are still state owned, so these parts produced in Poland may be a big advantage for Boeing. It's just business.
