But who was the primary fighting force in all of these wars? Who provided the men? Who provided the weapons?
It has always been the US. Take the Gulf war, the coalition got in the way. People wanted peace keeping forces in before the US was done with what they were trying to do. If the coalition had not gotten in the way the US would have gone into Baghdad and taken Hussein(sp) out of power. Yes other countries have helped. But did they draft millions of men to fight on foreign soil? Or did they send a few people or just some supplies? Do they try to become directly involved in the rebuilding process after the war is over? The US does.
