Yup, the only thing that matters to you is American lives, you have proven that by your constant refrain of "fuck" the Iraqis and leave now.
Last I checked Unilateral means someone does something ALONE. We were and still are far from alone. And as I recall this very paper with this story has made the Unilateral claim in the past as well.
alone, in an absolute sense? of course not. alone in a real sense, of course we are. The coalition of the billing is a farce and you know it. We are doing the fighting and the dying and the paying.

This reminds me of the first gulf war. There was a chart in National Geographics. I did some math. You could have added up the number of soldiers from all other nations and doubled the sum. It would not have come close to the number of soldiers that the USA sent.
That was different. Just Like the Balkans is different.

The point is the same. The UN condoned the first Gulf War –a result of Iraq taking Kuwait. I think that the first war was more justified. We should have made Iraq give Kuwait back – and we did. The point is that even though other nations participated in that war too, the USA gave, by far, more soldiers than did any other nation. Our leaders told us that, in that war as in this war, it was a worldwide effort with participation from many other nations. That may be technically true, but in each case the USA give many many more troups.
The korean war, and the first gulf war were formally sanctioned by the UN and international law, as they were reactions to true aggresion: the invasion of south korea, and kuwait respectively. Both wars had broad, international consensus internationally, or in the case of korea, from the free non-communist bloc. Tens of thousands of actual combat troops from dozens of nations participated.
Bush's Iraq war was not formally sanctioned, nor did it enjoy true broad international support. Not even from NATO. While, bush cobbled together some governments to sanction his war, he did not have the world's support or the international legitimacy that would have been helpful, indeed neccessary. And few nations contributed or sacrificed actual combat troops to Bush's war.
Simply not true, Britain sent at least 30,000 troops ( I seem to recall 45,000), Italy and Spain sent troops , most of Europe was in fact IN on the war.
Only France, Belgium and Germany were openly opposed. I suggest you learn some facts.
