Set an example

So here we have it.

Terror funded by the countries who objected to the resolutions to help the Iraqi people.

The US takes a leadership role (rightly or wrongly) and tries to clean up the mess left behind by saddam's old regime.

Other nations sit on the sidelines as Iraqi (and Spanish) innocents are blown up in acts of terror.

Terror knows no borders. The Spanish found that out, and decided to dive under the rug. The Russians recently found that out too. Their answer is to take the same "preemptive" doctrine Bush developed in late 2001/early 2002.

Yes, you Euro rug divers, you haven't taken the bull by the horns. The world has changed since 2001. It's a different world. No, you won't be getting your oil for food dollars, and yes, you have decided to passively take it out on the US, without any leadership suggestions of your own, just complaining and whining.

If the US fails, the dissenting UN countries will have to take what is handed them, whether they like it or not. There may not be a US to rescue them as the US did in WWI and WWII.

So the warning is - be careful what you ask for, you might get it.....
