Ok, our old "allies" aren't with us except for the UK and Australia and the UK likely will not be after its all said and done and Blair's gone. Who's left?

The way I see it, these old alliances don't make much sense for a new war. The French may be helping a little in 'Stan, but I think we've shown they can't be depended on. i don't have a problem with them not sending troops to Iraq if they don't want, but they shouldn't have tried to block the NATO trainers. They are not not supporting, they are actively working against. That's not an ally.
