Perhaps, but I don't think that they should. Surely, club, our allies operated only from the highest principles of concern for national and international welfare with no thought of financial reward -- just as did the United States.
Moreover, how could they complain if the contracts were open for bidding to all firms? Let the firm with the best bid win -- in the interests of preserving U.S. taxpayer money and aiding the efficient and effective reconstruction of Iraq.
P.S. The U.S. has "real allies" that did not support the Iraq war. Canada is surely a good example. So are Jordan, and Pakistan.
