Why aren't other countries helping in Iraq, especially since we are guarding the oil flow for the world?

Question

The U.S. has lost too many young people, have thousands more that are maimed, and is now in so much debt that the next three generations won't be able to pay it off.

Answer 1

Because most countries believe that we never should have gone in there in the first place, and now that we have messed up the situation nobody want to be blamed.

Answer 2

Take a look at the following list

Country Total
Australia 2
Bulgaria 13
Denmark 6
El Salvador 5

Italy 33
Kazakhstan 1
Latvia 3
Netherlands 2
Poland 18
Romania 2
Slovakia 4
Spain 11
Thailand 2
Ukraine 18
United Kingdom 130
These are the deaths of military personnel by country in Iraq
You still think nobody else is there?

Answer 3

There are many other countries that are helping out in Iraq,in different parts of the country,and,if they're not providing military troops,they're helping out with civilian help in many different ways.
The mainstream U.S. media rarely mentions this,so,your best bet is to go on the Internet.

Also,your statement about U.S. forces guarding "the oil flow for the world" is wrong.Why? Because all the countries that import & export oil don't get all of it from the Persian Gulf, which is where Iran & Iraq are located,but,it's also imported from other OPEC countries like Nigeria,which is a West African country, Canada,which is our neighbor to the North if you're a U.S. resident,and Venezuela,a South American country.

What is OPEC?The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which includes the ones I listed as part of my answer.
One more thing:Great Britain has the second largest number of military troops in Iraq,and,they're very dominant in southern Iraq, especially in the southern Persian Gulf port city of Basra.And that includes guarding & repairing all kinds of facilities,not just the oil fields & rigs.

Great Britain's commitment to success in Iraq is just as strong as ours.

Answer 4

Maybe other countries think there was no real point for YOU (= the US -nothing personal) to (struggle to) guard the oil flow of the world since nobody asked you to... I quite clearly remember a "friendly" country warning the Bush govt about the sh**** that was going to come out of this ; I hope you don't expect them to change their mind now, do you ??

Answer 5

Lets get in there and start building Lets do some trade for oil and get some American western culture going on there. Steel for oil restructure the East into a metro of Arabs working the economy.

Answer 6

Iraq doesn't produce that much oil. And maybe other countries leaders aren't willing to have their soldiers die for nothing the way Bush is.

Answer 7

More sense than to sacrifice lives for oil.

Answer 8

O we are killing people for Oil,why are other countries not Joining(US).

Answer 9

it is not their baby, their oil was flowing fine before bush invaded Iraq.

Answer 10

I think that people in most countries think that " We broke it-- we should fix it "
