But-- But.... Oh gosh you mean it's about money? (*GASP!* Those wonderful altruistic old europeans are concerned about their bottom line???)

How come appeasement is OK based on national interests, but war is not? duh. sorry just venting. I'm not arguing with ya.
Right about now they are more worried about their bottoms than their bottom line. France has sold weapons grade uranium to Sadam and Germany has sold the tools to make bio and chem weapons. Now both Germany and France have a large Moslem population. It seems the slings and bows of France and Germany may fall back on them. They Sold their souls for filthy lucre and now are forced to prostitute themselves to keep from being ravaged by their new master, the Jihad.
