The countries in question can still do business with Iraq, they just cant
bid on the contracts that the US taxpayers are paying for. They can be hired
as subcontractors for the contracts as well. I dont see why this is such a
huge deal? Why should the US taxpayers pay french companies to rebuild Iraq
when they werent willing to support the US efforts in the first place?

Former top U.S. officials are blasting the Bush administration for reopening
a rift with Europe by excluding critics of the war from prime contracts for
Iraq's reconstruction.

"I thought we were in the process of acquiring support rather than
alienating it," former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (search) said.
So let me get this straight.
1. Economy is bad.
2. Find a patsy country and accuse them of something unfounded.
3. Get called on it by other countries.
4. Attack anyway
5. Deny reconstruction contracts to countries that wouldn't help in an
illegal war.
And people are complaining? I don't get it. It looks like a perfect plan to
boost the economy by giving local companies big contracts.
