Aren't these the same "coalition" members that Kerry and the DNC want the US to take dirction from?

The UN, which cut and run after one attack on their ill-defended HQ in Baghdad.

Spain, which cut and run after one attack on their home soil.

The Philipines, which cut and run after one aid worker is threatened.

And, for dishonorable mention, France, Germany, and Russia, who disn't get involved at all because toppling Saddam would have eliminated their looting of Iraq'a oil wealth through the massively corrupt UN "Oil For Food" criminal enterprise (probably the greates heist of all time were somebody to report on it -- where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need them?).

Well here is the problem as I see it - The Bush admin has mismanaged the coalition. Now I agree with you thatthe USA is big enough not to need or be hobbled by coalitions as Kerry and the Dems would envision it but if the Bush admin talks up the fact that we do have a viable coalition then a better job was and is needed in maintaining such an alliance via diplomacy. I want to add before the flames come my way that this is hardly a mortal blow but it is a failure in diplomacy and so I hang this failure around the State Dept's neck.
