"EU and its fledgling foreign policy"

Kosovo is a good example of what I'm talking about. The Europeans couldn't get their act together and the UN went in.
The UN went into the Gulf in '91. The coalition was led by the US.

Here is the coalition.
Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Honduras, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Syria Turkey, The United Arab Emirates, The United Kingdom, and the United States.

That coalition does not exist today.

Little was done to nail Milosevec by the Europeans or the Americans, shame on those leaders who let that mad man roam free for so long.
As for Saddam, there are other ways of getting rid of him that are cheaper and less noisy.
