text: hi, guys, i'm french and i would like to know if many american think that the war in irak is meant to fight terrorism ? and what do u think about the french that at the time were against that war ?  no hard feelings guys, i have no hidden agenda, pure curiosity :) the iraq war has turned into a huge military and political blunder. it is probably creating more terrorists than it is eradicating. the french probably had the best analysis of this in 2003, pre-invasion.
