I agree. This piece by Gingrich touches on this (and other points you make).
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-gingrich092801.shtml
and is quite thoughtful. I had no idea he could think this clearly.
Why I am reading the NR so much lately I cannot say, exactly, but I wonder.
I found Principle 8 especially good
"Principle Eight: The coalition must be the largest willing to support our plan.
It is a very important distinction. We cannot write a plan designed to have
a big coalition. We have to write a plan to win and then recruit to the
plan. Countries that are not willing to participate but also not harbor any
terrorists are fine. This is a passive support we will tolerate. But, we
should not tolerate opposition. For example, Uruguay may decide they're not
in this fight. That's fine, as long as they do not harbor terrorists. No
country can harbor terrorists and claim to be out of the fight."
This means no toadying to the likes of Syria because we think they can be
helpful in one particular facet.
