Also, where are these hundreds of people waiting in line to fight terrorism and dictatorship? i believe that was an arbitrary statement.
Spain tucked its tail as soon as they were hit at home- pulled their troops and ran for the hills. Since the OSLO accords, i have yet to find a greater reward to terrorism. France and Germany gave up before this even started. Really, tho, why should they care? they know its necessary to fight this threat, but then they also know that since it is necessary, the US will do it for them. That way, they benefit from the war on terror, and yes, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THIS ONE SINGLE WAR, and they also get to criticize the Bush administration to gain popularity, both at home and abroad. especially in the Arab world. And who wants to get on these guys' good side? the left, of course, with their appeasing asshole candidate, John Kerry- who i guess is one of these hundred presidents you have lined up that would fight terrorism. by doing what? getting deeper in bed with them than Bush is? screw that.
As long as these assholes can sit there in the UN and lick each others' taints in an orgy of pseudo-frendliness, they are fine because the US is getting the ass end of all of it.
If only the best country in the world is willing to stand up to this threat (which it isn't- Israel, the best in the middle-east, is right with it and has been fighting this war before Bush was sucking his mom's tits) that should tell you something about the quality of the other countries, and the integrity of their leadership.
since the begining of all this the whole problem has been just that- everyone wants to talk the talk, but literally just a few people will walk the walk.
