Of course. If France didn't exist now, Saddam would have one less helper. :)

If Britain did not exist, we'd have one less ally. We still could have done the job in Iraq, though with higher casualties, and perhaps a greater alliance with Australia, which has contributed greatly. In the absence of a Britain, US would have no ally close to Olde Europe, and might be in a greater conflict. Perhaps the US would then have to look elsewhere for a closest ally.

Why did the British get involved in the War in Iraq? Why did other European nations get involved? If Iraq was only a threat to us. OR was Saddam's Iraq a threat to them too?

I am certainly not saying they should not have.


Just curiouse as to why. We all know why France and Germany didn't.
