I think Assad is busy these days taking care of his guests, who're used to very good treatment.

Tirkit. Everything

If we allow the French, Germans and Russians back into Iraq they will promptly begin working to undermine the new Government and reinstall the Baathists in power.
Those, after all, are their friends, the people they know how to do business with. They will try to create a new Saddam.

If the Iraqi's are aware that the French, Germans and Russians tried to steal their liberty, I wouldn't want to be a citizen of those countries there. Likely they could end up swinging on lamposts...
