The French ambassador to the US, Gérard Araud, tweeted to remind everyone how France, vilified at the time for not supporting the war in Iraq, had been right ... In Germany, Daniel Haufler, writing in the Berliner Zeitung, said the report confirmed what sceptics had been saying all along: that military intervention "did not bring democracy and peace but a failed state in which hunger, chaos and a lack of perspective reigns." ... Italy's business newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore, said the report vindicated those who were against the conflict.
