Re: Hmmmm

Ha, but after the 1973 oil crisis, Europe diversified its energy sources to such an extend that it wouldn't get trapped again like it had been, then.

A company like TotalFina has certainly great interests over there, but in France, the population has not forgotten that company was responsible for the AZT explosion in Toulouse and the Erika sinking with the huge oil spill.
Besides, if other companies do get the Iraqi oil and there's still a market for it in the EU, then why should the old european consumers who have the money be banned?
