#2 "European countries like France and Germany were alienated from Washington in light of President George W. Bush's decision to go to war against Iraq in 2003."

The alienation had nothing to do with Iraq and everything to do with the fact that W was a Republican ie not-a-socialist. I was in Europe in 2002 and observed the behavior up close and personal. Iraq wasn't even on the radar and they were already bitching. The issues change but the behavior pattern never changes. The same behavior was observable during Reagan and Nixon.

#3 It's all about the money. Europeans don't care of other people suffer and die under tyranny, if they can make a buck out of the deal. They never imagine that this crap will come back to haunt them.

Ironically, in this case, the US probably wants them back in Iraq, solely so they can get oil from someone other than Russia.
