The only unconditional ally we have is England and they have been there with us the entire way, even though they have a PM that campaigned agaisnt the war.

Germany, France and all the others are fair weather fans of ours. We could do no wrong in WWII when we were saving their ass, but they have continually harassed us since then. We even had to deal with France, Germany, and Russia supplying Iraq with military equipment during the embargo. These were the same countries that benefitted mostly with the oil for food scandal.
