Anyway. Who gives a fuck about country allies. If you ask people in the streets - they will support the cause. Atleast those who know enough about the situation.
About the Oild story..
Consider thew following point of view please..
A country as big and strong as the US (same for Russia/China/..) can not be defeated (or even battled) by arms. especially not by a group of terrorist or a weak terrorist country like Iraq.
Their only weapon is hit the "enemy" (US) where it hurts the most - ECONOMY. 9/11 destroyed alot of "money" - which is infact people's power. If attacks like 9/11 occur again or on a regular basis, US will be brought down on its knees.
Oil is one way Iraq can fight against the US.
US has all the existantial right to fight its enemies when they threat their safty/well-being.
US dont need the authorization of noone (not even EU) for protecting itself against Osama-Bin-Laden devestating terror or against Iraq terror regime.
Russia dont need noones approval to fight the muslim terrorists in Checniya.
Israel dont need anyones green-light to protect itself against murderers.
Its strange but all of those fight against Muslims fanatics. Go figure
If US/Russia/Israel wants the backup of EU its their right to ask. They may not get it, but dont fool yourself thinking that they wont get it because of the right EU motives.
Its time people wake up from their childish dream of a perect world where no danger is stronger than US capitalism.
You all surf the net, go to holywood movies, eat mcDonalds (even - sad as it is - watch Rickey lake).
So fuck allies. If someone threatens your life just because he hates you - dont wait for my approvel - KILL THE MOTHER FUCKER
