Jinn?

A pretence of alliance
Charles Krauthammer:
Within days after Saddam's capture, France, Germany and Russia announced their willingness to consider relieving Iraq's crushing debt burden. This was no burst of conscience about unrepayable billions lent Saddam to squander on grotesque palaces and grotesque weapons. This was the wind shifting America's way in Iraq — and the neutrals adjusting course accordingly.One should expect these countries to oppose American interests again, during future campaigns of this war. So let's drop the illusion that they are allies.
