I think if you're goin to bring up WWII that the big thing to remember is that it took the US 2 years to support the rest of the World... for 2 years they sat out and watched what was happening. It was until they were attacked that they decided to get involved. So how can you blame other countries for standing by and watching now. it's exactly what the United States did in the past.

correct me if im wrong but,

i dont think that the US paid other countries off to be against the war (WWII) like france did @ the UN....

& didn't the US send a butt load of aid prior to joining WWII?

the french have sent 44 people in a decontamination unit to decontaminate the non-exsistent chem & bio weapons that iraqis dont have?
