I think DC is right. Opposing the war in Iraq didn't hurt either Chirac or Schröder. Our new president (in two years time) and the next chancellor will have taken notice of that...

And secondly, France and Germany were opposed to the war in Iraq because there was no sound and conclusive evidence of Iraq possessing WMP. Even if it turned out that we were right about that, it will be next to impossible to now favour a strike against a country that technically doesn't posses WMD's either.
The subtlety that Iran inevidably will produce them whereas Iraq probably wasn't capable of doing that will undoubtly be lost on the voting masses...
