Tim, so are you suggesting we should have ignored our committment to NATO and let them fight with out us? 1 - If we did not fight we would not have been ignoring our commitment to Nato, any more then Germany would be ignoreing its commitment by not helping us out against Iraq. The NATO treaty is a purely defensive treaty. The member may cooperate on the offense but they are under no obligation to do so. 2 - I was not suggesting anything about whether we should have participated in the operation or not. I was rather responding to the idea that was presented by Alighieri, that its ok to push around other countries as long as we have no national interest in the conflict. That seems eaxctly backwards to me. Tim
