dr what???? NO, we need to engage foreign policy issues unilateraly. We need to be able to disembowel the "Pirates of Penzance" wihtout the need to consult with our nominal allies.

How many of our "allies" have sent COMBAT troops into Afghani?

You think they are countries of action or negotiation? What or how do you think we as a country got where we are? by action, not negotation. I can imagine how many Powerpoint Negotiations have already been undertaken.

Each country has differant views, abilities/capabilities and concerns then we do. Ours is unique... We are the United States of America.

why should you deal this unilateraly? makes no sense for me.
What´s wrong if you coordinate your actions along with other nations? you sound like “if your allies would restrain you” hunting down the pirates. that´s not true. every one is interessted to stop piracy so what´s wrong about consulting other nations? it will make the Navy patrols more effektive because you are able to patrol a larger area. and for afghanistan. ok different conflicts different interessts but this has nothing to do with the pirate problem. again every one is interessted to get rid of them (btw. not only your “traditional allies”).

Quite a few, actually. They've been over there for as long as we've been over there.
