This is the hidden story of this whole war. While the elite press likes to bestow upon France and Russia the awards of moral superiority, these two nations are absolutely corrupt. Russia has supported Saddam and his regime of terror with weapons, training, and everything else you can imagine. At the same time, Russia is pursuing a genocidal campaign in Chechnya. They have refused to let the UN or the Red Cross into the area. France poured billions of dollars into that fascist nightmare, even when they knew the money was not getting to the Iraqi people. These are the worlds moral "heavyweights". What a joke.
Why are we leaving China out of this - didn't I read they found weapons from China in there, too.
I am just amazed at the sacred cow attitude toward China who poses such a threat economically and militarily to this country and apparently sold, or gave, weapons to Iraq and refused to support us.
Does the fact Russia is still communist and still very dangerous and still very anti-American surprise anyone? If it did, keep those rose-colored glasses on - you may not be able to take the real world.
Just because President Bush thinks Pooty-(whatever) and Foxy are great guys doesn't make it so.
