Roumania wants its money from Iraq and it's neither peaceful, nor a great power ! (Bulgaria also.)

Iraq owes Roumania $ 1.2 billion, as a result of short-term loans made by Ceausescu to Saddam during the 1980s, when Roumania had pro-Arab attitudes (in the name of "anti-imperialist resistance").
November 2002 : Tarek Aziz, Iraqi minister for foreign affairs, to Mircea Geoana, Roumanian minister for foreign affairs, when hearing that Roumania joined the pro-war camp: "You want you money back ? Go now and ask America for it !"

Just a little example of "Iraqi diplomacy"...
