5. They were right
Those three countries took it on themselves to try and keep this from happening. Said it was a bad idea, would create a huge mess and whoever got involved would be stuck there for years. Bush and his gang, along with the lap dog press, tore into them. Even went so far as to call into question France's and Germany's friendship with us.

And now, when things are exactly as they said it would be, they are being asked for help. Why should those countries who tried to keep this from happening send troops over there to die? Why should they send any of their money to something they tried desperately to keep from happening? The fact that anybody would criticize them now for not helping makes my head spin. It's beyond stupid.

Oh, and they aren't just being asked for troops and money, they are being asked for those things with no say whatsoever as to how both will be used. They aren't really being asked either, they are being told they are obligated to do this. That is a staggering new level of arrogance.

I sincerely hope Germany, France, and Russia keep saying "Fuck you, Mr. Bush" for as long as he is in power.
