Im susprised nobody's hit on this one yet. Me personaly, I thinks it's a case similar to the old story about the Hen who wants to make bread. She asks for help from the duck and the pig.... and they refuse. But when the bread is made... the duck and the pig come, lickin their lips, only to be refused because they did nothing to contribute.

Why should countries like France and Germany be rewarded with contracts when countries like us, the aussies, and the brits (im sorry if i left the Italians, the Spainiards, the Poles, and the Hungarians out) are 'makin the bread'? We've lost soldiers over there. We're the ones having to rebuild their friggin infrastructure from scratch. And they get upset whe we turn into the Business Nazi and say 'No Contracts For You!' Bollocks to them. Let them shed blood there. Then we'll talk. Maybe...
