"These govts are our allies because they are threatened by islamic fundlementalism whose objective is to replace all these govts with Theocracies similar to the Taliban."

But apparently, for the most part, do not feel 'threatened' enough to help. Take our long-term 'staunch' ally, Turkey, for example. They refused us even permission to launch from our own bases when confronting Saddam. I suspect most over there who claim to be our 'friends' are just about as pro-US when push comes to shove.

"There is a huge misconception that the WOT is a military war."

If it were not a military confrontation, it would not require troops and war-materiel.

That is your poorly informed opinion. The fact that they provide us with a military port contradicts you.

The numerous assasination attempts on Mushareff contradicts you. The fact that we have missle equipped UAVs patrolling the tribal regions contradicts you. The fact that these missles are being utilized based on Pakastani intelligenge contradicts you.
