Hey Imatwork,
The Russians just signed a multi-billion dollar trade agreement with Iraq. The French get a majority of their oil from Iraq where as we get less than 5% of ours from them; a quantity that the Saudis could more than make up for. I am very partial towards the Russians after spending a month there to bring home my oldest daughter. However, they must realize our intentions and join us in riddig the world of dictators such as Saddam.
