John, The fact is that every US president since WW2 has managed to get NATO support, and often troops, for their military adventures. And with a few exceptions, things have gone pretty well. Name them. There was only 1 US "adventure" with NATO participation in 50+ year history. Joe

re: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 All speculation. Obviously. Any statement about what would have happened if things had been done differently is speculation. 5 while still speculation is particularly well grounded. If it's humanitarian, which seems to be the neocon post-justification du jour, then maybe you get NATO support. I doubt it. I can't see France or Germany sending soldiers. The UK, Italy, Spain and Eastern European countries already did. Would we have gotten a couple of hundred soldiers from Belgium or Luxembourg? Probably not but if we did who really cares? In any case the humanitarian issue was raised before the invasion. Tim
