Initially, I was all for getting other countries on board including the Muslim countries.
After nearly 3 weeks of watching things transpire, I'm beginning to wonder.
These extremist bastids killed over 6k people on American soil.
The idea of being played for money and favors from the Muslim countries is beginning to cause me great concern.
Well, the Saudi's can't upset their people, neither can the Egyptians, and so on...
If we look at Iraq, the coalition will fall apart.
Turning a blind eye to Hamas and Hezbollah is foolhardy and simply delaying the inevitable.
The US was attacked and the US should respond.
This paper thin coalition is not going to get the job done and will cost the US plenty of money that could be better spent by investing in alternate fuel sources.
What happened to, They are either with us or against us?
That's how this needs to be fought.
Frankly, I believe the US, our allies in Europe, Israel and Russia, who will benefit by keeping the extremists farther from their boarders, could win this war without depending on people whose cultures so oppose ours.
