That and all the bashing from american tv Ive seen of France for the amount of troops theyre sending and yet american is sending none.
France took the lead on the proposal, and claimed they would make the investment to enforce it. 200 troops probably isn't what the world expected by "investment."
As for Bush, even though I generally have an extremely low opinion of his performance, I'll say that criticizing him for attempting to work with the UN in this case is hypocritical. I would have thought everyone who thought he made a mistake for choosing to essentially go it alone in the ME up until now would be encouraged by this apparent shift in strategy.

Non Arab countries are trying to see the situation through rose colored glasses. They should ask themselves the question "Why are Arab countries reluctant to denounce terrorist groups?"
Maybe then they would see that the truth is not what they want it to be. Wishful thinking is one thing but reality is another.
Terrorists are a hate group like the KKK or any other hate groups.

The US is sending the same number as Canada.
As for Canada not sending troops, we have a good chunk of them in afghanistan, I think they want to finish that job before they spread thin the troops they have. Though i wouldnt be surprised if some were sent.
Right, and we don't have any troops anywhere else  I'm sure we have many more jobs to finish than Canada does.
