re: Blame

The whole situation was initiated by the US.
Other countries reacted their own way. Spain, the UK , Holland, Poland, Italy and others were going to help the US, in spite of their public opinion being strongly opposed to it. Spain, for instance, was more opposed to war than France.
But of course, because of the divisions around the world, it's very easy to blame those who opposed the war.
Iraq was France's 27th commercial partner; the US was France's 5th.
This shows France was going to get more deeply hurt by losing US contracts than Iraqis.
And meanwhile, even countries that favored the war, aren't getting as many contracts as they hoped their position would entitle them to.
