If they were so concern about the humanitarian needs of the population as they claim, then why don't they effect a regime change in Zimbabwae, where tens of thousands of refugees are pouring over the border into Botswana; or in The Sudan where millions are starving and dying due to a nasty insideous government?

What ever there reason maybe for going in iraq they should never have left the first time and they had a justified reason then .
As france and the rest of the EU seem supposedly interested in civilian needs and not at all the loss of supply of oil from iraq then what are they doing to help out countries like sudan ? Who helped out with Ethiopia then the turkish earthquake and more recently the tsunami forgetting numerous other countries we ve helped . Theres only so much help we can give and need to start looking at our own country and the state its in
