The French's brand has a tough time weathering the political divisiveness of the early Iraq war. They had to put out a statement because they were worried about dumbass Americans boycotting their products during the Iraq War because France opposed joining the Coalition of the Willing.

If France was in support, it wouldn't have been called the Coalition of the Willing since the war would've been approved by the UN. It was only named that since it was an illegal aggression against another country by the international standards, hence the need to get other countries involved to legitimize it.
