i was just thinking, when i read robs comment about french not having a backbone that most democracys are like that, us kinda included, except we have such a large overwelming force that us half-assing it still whoops everyone. the french usta be a huge super power when they were still a monarch, they were the deciding factor in our independance and arnt given the credit they deserve for it. now when you let the citizens have a say in what the country does people want to live their lives when it comes down to it. so when the democracy decideds to play peace keeper their citizens bitch saying they dont need to be there, so in turn the governing body dosnt send a full frontal at the target, they do just enough to look like they are trying while at the same time trying to look like they arnt playing the badass tough guy stomping weaker forces. this turns into lots of nothing happening, sending 400 troops for instance, drawing out a endevor that should be wicked out in a weekend and stretching it out over a year or more. we(democratic world) want to seem like we're level headed and doing things tactically but it really is just us doing the bare minimum to work towrds a resolution while keeping the general public happy.

i think i wandered off from my initial thought but you get the idea
