International Competition law? What a damn set of fools! What is wrong with Germany and France? Canada too for they have been barred. To begin with the US is not the Iraqi government no matter what they think. France and Germany should go in there and kick Bushs ass out and leave the Iraqis to govern their country. International Competition law my back side. How about Pre-emptive strike?

Flayva, as a lawyer, ( yu accepted to fi mi Bar), how can France and Germany even have a eg to stand on in a cause of action when the legally the US is not the Government of Iraq and does not lawfully have the right or authority to offer contracts?

Just imagine a gang banger beats up a lesser gangster and takes over his property then proceeds to decide that the beaten gangsters mansion for instance needs fixing then decides that the contact for fixing the beaten gang bangers mansion should only go to those others gang-bangers who supported the beating up of the beaten gang banger. Just imagine how Ashcroft would go about changing the law to make such act worthy of the death penalty. Are US citizens still wondering why the outside world thinks less of the White House?
