Just as the U.S. does and every other country in the world. France has lucrative contracts with Iran, just as they did with Iraq. Thus the oppostion to any disruption of those contracts. Russia will certainly side with Iran as will China because they all have lucrative dealings with them. I think it foolish of any country not to protect their own interests at all times.
By the way, Their would have been no successful American Revolution without the French's assistance. But once again protecting their own interest, The French knew that by helping the American Colonies revolt they would weaken England. Little did they know that it would inspire a revolution in their own country.
The french can protect what ever they like. If they wish to help countrys that fund terrorists like Iran, fine at least we know who else our enemy is. Seems like it was those very same countrys that were aiding Saddam that are aiding I'm a mad jihad. Figures, Maybe they got another oil for food scam going and they all want in on the illegal action. It must not of been in there interest to go along with the UN resolutions, what's there excuse for that? France is weak on there own policy. They can't even stand for themselves much less any
one else.

Quote:Did you? You personally served in WWII?
Where did she say she had served? By the same token did you see the french aid us in our cival war? "If you want a history lesson, America wouldn't be here without the French." That could be debated one fact that cannot be is the french would be long gone without the Americans.
