"than going it (almost) alone" Ahem..... That is one of the regular arguments that is brought up by partisan ideologs, in their endless, pointless circular debate of irrefutably discredited ideas. It simply has no basis in fact. France, Germany, Russia, China & others had billions of reasons to avoid war with Iraq. Illegal contracts & massive illegal arms sales, etc are among their main reasons. They also had lent Saddam tens of billions that would be in jeopardy if Saddam were removed from power. To give these countries credibility as honest opposition to the war is ludicrous at best. Those countries put their own self-interest above global security & they ignored the horrific crimes against humanity of Saddam to line their pockets with illicit profits. Those are the real facts. The Coalition of the Willing is more than 60 countries strong. To dismiss them as you have, by deceitfully saying, "finding the massive international peer pressure more palatable than going it (almost) alone", is grossly deceptive & ignores numerous irrefutable facts to the contrary. "I have mixed feelings about the Bush administration which I think frequently ignores common sense and acts in its own selfish interest." Well, it's obvious you wish to argue in circles like other partisan ideologs. You brought this up in our recent discussion here. I completely discredited it with a mountain of evidence that is clearly contrary to that belief. And here you are again with the same line & ZERO evidence. How about a few specific & factually accurate instances to support these allegations? You are great at sound bites & now it clearly appears your are impervious to facts & reality that runs contrary to your partisan POV.
