I'm sorry 238240, that is a very weak and simplistic argument to make.

Clearly you should realize by now that the "Global War on Terror" (GWoT)is largely a creation to cover the USA commercial and geopolitical interests in Central Asia

(Read: 1. Oil development. Caspian basin, Kyrgystan, etc. 2. Prevent China for securing energy supplies. 3. Generally encircle China with military bases.)

1. A non-state organization, largely supported then abandoned by the USA to fight the Soviets in the 80s, appears to have attacked the USA with fueled airplanes. Despite having leads and hints, the FBI is told by Bush II to 'stand down' on UBL/AlQaeda investigations prior to the attack.

2. The USA "retaliates" by =invading a country= that had nothing to do with any attacks, =but= which is strategic to the military/economic control of the middle east/central asia.

3. After Afghanistan is somewhat stabilized, a huge American-built pipeline goes through. Funny that.

4. Now destabilized, Iraq becomes a radicalizing factor for otherwise moderate Muslims, and a training ground for the next-gen of Islamist guerilla fighters. Nice job USA! USA! USA!

So as you may begin to see, there are many, many complicating factors why other nations may or may not want to "help" with the so-called "GWoT" that the USA is "leading".

Start reading some more history 238240. You might learn something, instead of repeating your boring jingoistic dogma.
