    I'm sure there is the odd incident where the side doing the firing isn't American, but I haven't heard of any. Is this trend due to the sheer prevalence of US forces and arms or due to a wider degree of incompetance? Even rated on a proportional basis, the Americans do seem to screw up a lot. Just goes to show - there's nothing more dangerous than a dumb user.

If 90% of the activity is being performed by Americans, 90% of the errors will be attributable to American forces. The other participants will eventually make thier fair share of mistakes, and we'll hear about them in due time...

          Well, the object of the war is not to take control of the country; it's to free the Iraqi people. ;P It's very interesting that France wants a huge part in rebuilding Iraq. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they will be losing billions in oil contracts if Saddam is out and the US/UK are in?

I think that french oil companies invest in Irak since the 20's, much before the installation of the Baath party by the CIA at the head of the iraqi state. so I don't see why they would have to stop, except by being ousted by american companies.

              When I said "occupy" I was referring to the presence on the battle field, not to the post-war administration, which is IMO a totally different problem.

                  You're darn right I'm scared! Communism is something to be very scared about, IMO. BTW, I'm pretty far from being a Nazi. Closer to an anarchist than a nazi.
