It drives international relations today as it has always done in the past.

Yes, we didn't need any approval from any other country or organization to go to war in Iraq. Might makes right in this case.
Yes, there are some countries that "support" the war in Iraq
But, there is also a large difference in doing the RIGHT thing and the wrong thing. You, as do many right wingers, continue to reference 9/11 as a justification for the war in Iraq. And it continues to amaze me that you and others think that this war in Iraq has IMPROVED our security against terrorism.
Almost every news organization of any value has repeated time and time again that terrorist organizations (besides Al Qaeda) have seen their membership grow since the war in Iraq began. Not exactly "diffusing" the terrorship problem frankly.
