Well, I don’t want to be rude here, but your statement is untrue. France actively sought out sales in Iraq. They were even trying to set up joint ventures to build the 2000 mark. France would sell their soul if someone was willing to pay for it. Remember they are the bastards that sold this tyrant a breeder reactor.

I'm gonna use your favorite trick here: Link please.
I do not deny that France actively sought sales in Iraq, but AFAIK the US did not try to prevent the sales (something they easily could have done, since the Mirage aircrafts include a lot of restricted technology France would need permission to sell).
If you can prove me wrong, I will bow to the master.
