Why should a country that was selling arms to Iraq Illegally (like France), and was against the war, and stabbed us in the back by telling Powell they were backing us and voting for UN resolutions and then, later, voting against us and not enforcing them, and didn't help in the war effort by sending money or troops, take the risks, etc...... now profit from all that the coalition has accomplished?



Why shouldn't other countries that have spent money, sent troops, and taken the risk, be the ones to get rewarded for their efforts?



Sounds like typical democrat thinking. If a person invests money in a business, takes risks with his money and works hard, democrats think that persons shouldn't get the profits from his efforts. Take his money (in taxes) and give it to those that didn't invest, risk, work harder/smater, and then call it fairness/compassion. This kind of thinking makes it obvious why most sucessfull businesses are started/built/owned/run by conservatives and not liberals. The big rift in this country seems to be because some people, that don't earn a lot of money, think they are entitled to the money that others make. And those others think they should be entitled to their money, and others shouldn't be. The rift is between the producers and the non-producers.





While those countries can still get "subcontracts", that even seems to be offering them far too much in my opinion, considering their behavior. Why do people think we (the U.S.) should overlook their behavior to try and draw them in as friends? Friends don't behave like they did! Those kind of friends, that just like the U.S. when they can use us, are no friends at all. Would you keep a personal friend, if they treated you, like they treated us? I wouldn't! And I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to try and keep them as a friend (just to make friends) after they stabbed me in the back.



Though they were included in the list, Canada is probably going to do OK. I doubt if they will be in the same boat as the Russians and the French.



It's nice to have a president that knows right from wrong, and speaks it regardless of the consequences. The longer Bush is in office, the more I like him.



Sure he has done some things I don't agree with, but he has been right on all the really important things.
