>I'm glad Europe, Asia, and Australia all said no to helping liberate oil from Iran. I didn't expect any help from them. >Also, it's so weird seeing Americans wanting to leave NATO because NATO didn't help invade Iran That's not why I want to leave NATO. >whilst forgetting that NATO is a defensive pact. It didn't look very defensive when the Europeans dragged NATO into Libya. | ||

Nobody got "dragged" in. Being that NATO is a defensive pact, no country was under any obligation to participate. There is exactly one time in history when a NATO country has actually invoked the treaty that requires help from other members, and I'm sure you know which country that was. | ||
