Very nicely done blog, I agree with the point that you brought up about how eight years years ago there was quite a large number of countries on board to fight the war on terror. After that though we differ in opinion about the reasons why. First of all looking back this was never really a war on terror to begin with, it was America trying to look strong after a moment of weakness. Yes we initially had a whole lot of support from various acquaintances and allies alike, mostly because of their respect for the USA. Then as the years moved on respect only could take us so far so what started as a favor to a friend became a commitment they were not prepared to take. Pretty much like when a friend asks to stay at your place for the night and then is still there eight years later, living rent free. So we are that friend and we have definitely overstayed our welcome.
