Yes france refused Iraq War 2 - because they "were cowards that always surrender". I live in Ireland and honestly, that is all we ever heard on the airwaves at the time..
But you know it's false, isnt it ? That Chirac was perfectly aware of the situation and decided to refuse to participate in an unnecessary war. So what you can point out is the influence of UK medias in this time.
What's really terrible in this story, beside the civilian casualties, is how UK's PM did a non- stop-apologies about his mistake for the rest of his life.
