France. Germany. Italy. Spain. What have they all got in common.?

Question

They are members of the United Nations. This organisation agreed to support Afghasnistan. Britain, USA, Canda, and others sent fighting troops. But these country refused. Granted, they sent troops out there, but only to act as NAAFI waiters - no fighting, pleeeese.
Should they be kicked out of the UN for welching on a deal, and left to fend for themselves?

Spain have troops in Afghanistan. They are not allowed to fight. So what use are they? Get your facts right.

Barmywoman and others should read the question. Yes, they have troops there. But No, they don't fight. Which is the whole purpose of the question.

READ THE QUESTION. If I wanted your views on Iraq, I would ask the question. I am talking about Afghanistan. These countries do not have FIGHTING troops there, although they are present, they are not allowed to fight.

Answer 1

Not all countries in the UN send troops to support the US.In korea the Chinese and Russians fought on the other side but were still members of the UN .The idea of the UN is a meeting place for nations if anyone who didnt agree with the US or the majority were thrown out it wouldnt serve much purpose.It would also be a another problem if France went then we would be all the time negotiating to get their troops back when they surrender or change sides which is their usual tactics.

Answer 2

Italy and Spain having troops in Iraq. I know Spain got them back home again. Germany didn't send any soldiers to Iraq, because they was from the beginning against this war, they are right, and Bush start without UN this war, this was the problem why he didn't get so much support. Germany helping teaching the Iraqi Army and Police in Saudi and Kuwait. Germany send troops to Afghanistan and soon they are sending the jets and controlling from the air the Taliban's.
I'm glad not everybody listen to Bush and send all their troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, what you think what's happened than, WW III. And also Britain getting soon their troops home too.

Answer 3

Spain does have troops in Afghanistan ,as does the others, where do you get your info from? The exact figures of headcounts I have no clue, but know Spain has troops there,and the other too as was reported on the BBC news yesterday

Answer 4

There are more ways to judge a country's worth then how supportive they are of the United States' imperialistic actions. Besides your facts are wrong. Spain has been supporting the US, though in a limited way.

I believe they should continue being a part of the Security Council, if only to act as a restraining force in the power balance.

Bush, who loved to start great distant places wars that have definitely no connection with something in united statesa. and that cost one billion earnings step with day to maintain going? G.W.

Actually, they are in Afghanistan as part of NATO, not the UN.

Yes, they are very slow to commit the troops that they promised.

I'd love to hear your mechanism for "kicking them out" of the UN or NATO...

Answer 8

the European countries have been cowards since the beginning of last century, France being the worse, they laid down for the Germans twice, and then the US had to come and give the countries back at the cost of thousands of US lives, then when we need help, they stick their noses in the air.
