NATO, not so.

I'm not a fan of Family Guy in any stretch but this is my favourite moment from the show.  The quality is terrible.
NATO or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was an organization established in 1949 to stop the spread of communism in Europe.  There are 16 member nations.  They are, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, The USA and at the time West Germany, which is now Germany.
Now that communism has ended in Europe NATO has reassigned its self to peacekeeping like missions.
The Soviets had their own version of NATO called the Warsaw Pact and was all Soviet Bloc Countries.  They just mainly wanted to have a force to oppose the NATO ones, creating a sense of security for themselves.
A current NATO mission is the Canadian British, Australian, German, Australian troops stationed in Afghanistan.  NATO can make quicker decisions than the UN making then easier to get into action.
Countries are not under UN principles allowed to attack fellow UN countries thus making ever war unlawful ( unless the Vatican is attacked)   The NATO invasion of Afghanistan was unlawful and the attempted NATO collaboration attack on Iraq was even worse.  (thought Saddam Hussein was a dictator that needed to be overthrown and the country liberated.  it's simply the way they entered the country) You could have and they  argued that the al-Qaeda bombings of the World Trade Centers are just enough cause to invade.  But the one who confessed to organizing and allowing the attacks Osama bin Laden  was found in Pakistan.  Why did they not invade Pakistan then? And why were American troops in Pakistan in the firts place and how did they find him there?  The entire operation doesn't make sense.  I do not think killing him was a bad idea he killed thousands of American but American soldiers killing civilians for sport? How can you say that is just?
why did so many Canadian troops die in Afghanistan if bin Laden was in Pakistan?  There is no denying that the NATO mission in Afghanistan has turned to a humanitarian one.  The good that has been done in Afghanistan is amazing so much more good can be done.  The Taliban are a new kind of enemy one that is not fought face to face but with desperate suicide bomber and road side bombs.  You can't fight these things like we have before.
NATO has changed so much since its creation.  Their values are relatively the same but the enemy is much different.
