Well, France, Germany and Russia all stand to lose big in the area of oil contracts if the Americans and UK take over Iraq. In fact, almost everyone except the USA and UK (and Israel) stand to lose big in that respect. That explains partly why there has been such great international opposition to this war. The other reason is that it's blatant, illegal aggression, of course....but most countries will support that sort of thing when their own interests are involved.
