What does that even mean?
You are quickly moving into territory you don't know about jome...
I guess the six nuclear tests in 1995 that the French conducted in the South Pacific weren't Showing off?
I guess the fact that russia had one of it's largest military drills in 15 years last august isn't showing off?
What about the German troops in Afghanistan?
What about the UK troops in Iraq?

Or "need to use it", however you'd like to put it..
Lol at using tests/drills as a example..
Boy, do I know about this..
Russia is in war with Tsjetsjenian forces/guerilla, Germany have troops in Iraq, Australia have troops in Iraq, U.K. have troops in Iraq, Norway had troops in Iraq, Spain had troops in Iraq, etc.
It's not like ANY of these countries are using their full or even half of their military forces.. it's more like companies/troops.
But they send forces to help out U.S. when requested by U.N., without these countries in Iraq, U.S. would have been in deeper horse shit than they are in Iraq now, even though it's not looking good at all.

So first you say: "We didn't send shit."
Then you say: "You need us there."
I don't get it.

I didn't say "we didn't send shit", and I didn't quite say "you need us there".
All I'm saying is that a all-American war/invasion of Iraq without any countries helping you out, you'd be far worse off.
There would be more havoc, more American hostages taken, more Americans killed, and there would be more American-hate..
U.N. and it's countries adds legitimacy to the invasion/operation.

Bush said it himself that WE NEED THE HELP OF OTHER COUNTRIES. There's nothing to argue about. The U.S. thought it could handle the situation, it obviously couldn't, so after going in there as the lone ranger, the U.S. calls for help after being fucked.
Yes, I know the U.S. has the ability to take over any country it pleases, but keeping the country under control is another thing. LoL @ people (example: O'Reilly) who said that there would be barely any American casualties.
