From what I've heard on TV, the French were trading in weapons with Iraq as little as three months ago. If that is true, it's appalling. After the Gulf War, I don't see much good reason to sell weapons to Saddam. I don't think any country has been totally clean, but the French should know better.

You did not hear correctly, Jurgen. Three months ago, spare parts for french helicopters and Mirage were smugled into Iraq by a company based in Saudi Arabia. The french government had nothing to do with it. I am getting tired of the permanent french bashing while Russia, China, Germany have also voiced similar positions (just to name a few).
