When it comes to the dirty work, America, Britian and a few other countries are the ones who get their feet wet and their soliders in harms way. Every other country just gets to absorb the fruits of the labor, like Canada, France, etc., i.e. pussy countries.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I'm going to have to agree with Kevin there. The U.S. went in a bombed the shit out of Afghanistan (with the help of all the pussy countries, I might add) but has totally fallen on its face when the REAL dirty work comes along: the peacekeeping and convincing the people that there's a better way to live and rebuilding the country.
It's happening in Iraq now. The first "great war of liberation" was a huge joke. Everyone with half a brain could see that if Saddam really did have any WMD, he would have used them on the invading troops instead of running away. Now everyone is stuck with a thousands of Iraqis who smile and cheer when Western soldiers drive by, then plot and conspire when they think no one is looking.
Is the U.S. really going to do anything to correct this problem? No. More money will just be thrown at it, and more politicians will bitch and moan that more force is necessary or less force is necessary and even more people will be arguing that the occupation force should be withdrawn completely because "the lives of our soldiers are more important than anything else!"
Then it will be up to the pussy countries to go in and clean up the mess. As usual.
