Strick - Hasn't that what France and other countries have been saying all along? We will help to restore peace and re-build but not under U.S. command.

Do you blame them?

The U.S. is not equipped to "go it alone". It doesn't have the intelligence and the military isn't trained to handle it. As I said to my neighbor when this whole thing started, "Just watch! The U.S. will go in and make bloody war and Canada will come along to clean up the mess." I know this is a very general statement but it certainly follows a pattern.
