Is anyone surprised that Germany isn’t interested in helping the Syrian people rid themselves of the despot that gasses his own people. Germany has been allowed to depend on the U S for its military needs ever since WWII. So they probably aren’t in much of a position to provide help, and certainly haven’t exhibited any will to engage anybody in combat.

It is time for us to tell Germany that they are on their own and we are going to bring our military personnel and material home. We could use it to protect our southern border and get a lot more bang for our bucks.

European countries would have to be insane to help the terrorists who already have massive amounts of weapons gain control of Assad’s arsenal. I don’t get France going along with it. Don’t they already have a problem with Muslims out of control in France?

Italy and Germany have depended on Iranian oil more than all other nations combined.

Look around, and you'll see that Italy traded the most with Iran (big dependency for oil), and that Germany came in a close second. Posted here in 2006 (emphasis in bold for this instance):

AGI
Italy On Line

Special service by AGI on behalf of the Italian Prime Minister's office

LEBANON: D'ALEMA, ITALY HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN 5+1 ON I
(AGI) - Berlin, Aug. 26 - After having a protagonist role for peace in Lebanon Italy asks to take part in the 5+ 1 group that negotiates with Iran on nuclear. Foreign minister, Massimo D'Alema in an interview to "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" asks a place near to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. "We are Iran's most important commercial partners with Germany and we are pledged in Lebanon with Hezbollah. So we have the right to be included in the negotiation with Iran. The goal is not a new conflict but talks aimed at preventing Iran from having an atomic bomb, he said. Italy searched for a greater G8 involvement in the negotiation with Iran but it remained excluded from the 5 plus 1, the group that started a negotiation with Tehran offering incentives in exchange for the suspension of the uranium enrichment program. This exclusion was due to the fact that Rome was not part of the European trio (France, Germany and UK) that had tried the first mediation with Tehran and represented the EU in the 5 plus 1. D'Alema remembered that the United Nations and the EU had not a role in the Iraqi crisis, and warned that the new opportunity in Lebanon could not be missed now. "It is a very difficult mission full of unknown points but it is worth pledging or the only alternative would be a new burst of war" he said. The foreign minister, was sceptical on the possibility of a new UN resolution for the mission in Lebanon asked by the US. "I'm sceptical about it, because in these situations they always open long negotiations. The strategic plan is clear and the resolution was completed defining the rules of engagement. If they will make a new resolution soon I agree with them but the most important thing is getting there as soon as possible (In Lebanon)" he said.

"Italy is Iran's main trading partner in Europe and commercial relations between the two countries were reportedly worth five billion euros in 2005."

"(AGI) - Rome, May 26 - Economic sanctions under discussion against Iran would damage Italy in particular, which is an important trade partner of Iran."
