Afghanistan May Split NATO

US SecDef Gates is warning that the failure of so-called NATO 'allies' to shoulder burdens evenly may split the alliance into a 2-tier organization, effectively ending its viability. It just goes to show that the Atlanticists who proudly proclaimed after 9/11 that "an attack on one is an attack on all" aren't terribly interested in going to war for Uncle Sam. They only want Uncle Sam to go to war for them, to save their necks. Reciprocity wasn't ever supposed to seriously be part of the bargain -- not for those parasites.
