Once again, a vast overgeneralization of the situation overseas that has little basis in fact. We had some allies who raised a pretty big fuss over the Iraq situation, and rightfully so, especially in hindsight. With that said, all of those allies are still allied with us and would be the first ones to jump to our aid if a true problem, here or overseas, were to occur. Don't confuse disagreement with allegiance. We still have a wide base of support and we still return that favor in kind. The U.S. and all our traditional allies in Europe along with some of the newer nations are still on the same page when it comes to defense of any of those countries.
