My understanding is that every country that supported us in Gulf War I, has supported us in this one, with the exception of France. Germany wasn't there the first time. Neither was Russia. Turkey has cooperated in much the same way as before. So has Seria. But ya gotta really wonder about Syria. But the constant notion that the U.S. went it alone is being spoken by those who just don't know any better, or who are not being honest. And what were some of the results of our long standing work for peace in the Middle East? The assasination of the Egyptian president Anwar Sadat by comes to mind. 9-11 was planned DURING the Clinton Administration. Terrorism has been increasing, not decreasing. And Bush isn't causing it, any more than he caused hurricane Charlie. The Middle East needs reform. Nothing we're doing in the past was getting done.
