Quote:If that's so (and I'm not crediting it as such), then I guess we just don't need their support. And why does getting "any" international support exclude Poland, Spain, Britain, Holland, Denmark, Australia, etc. etc. ? Aren't those countries just as good--nay, BETTER than many countries who oppose the war? Isn't Britain's military record on par with America's as being the world's greatest? Having 650 countries is nice and everything, but it isn't like it's essential or anything---it just makes the little people who have no clout in the world today feel special.
Exactly! There is a broad coalition despite what Democrats are saying. About the only difference between this and any other action in the past few decades is that we didn't get a mandate from the UN [or help from France and Germany which we usually get]. Alot of countries have sent troops, though, heck even South Korea and Japan have sent troops to Iraq!
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
