"if Hussein's Iraq really was a threat to US security, i would think many more people would have been onboard for a forced disarmament, screw the inspections."

Nations aren't all that different. Consider that maybe France opposed the war because of $$$$ or Euros. They've lost plenty of business. In the end it always come down to that. Please don't believe they are morally superios to us because they opposed the war. If it suited them in other ways, they would have been onboard.

Spain and Australia: on our side. Does that make France and Germany better than them? I think not.
