At least the joint force coalition will have a good choice of cheeses available for their breakfast baguettes

You won't be able to buy/get them from France. It used up all white surrender paraphernalia many moons ago.

Ahem. Not that I think France is correct in its current stance, but could you point out any other country at all which is presently supporting the mad Americans?

Oh, the irony.

I suppose I should have said relevant country. Turkey is relevant I admit, but I've heard nothing about their present position on this. Perhaps you're better informed than I am?

Australia is likely even less relevant than Canada, which is very hard to believe.

No. I'm afraid that the US alone are the ones making total twats of themselves this time, with unforeseeable, but most probably disastrous consequences for the rest of us.

I think the lesson here is that, despite one's enthusiasm for Obama some years ago, no US President can actually control the military-oil-industrial complex.

Another lesson is that nobody ever learns from their mistakes.

Sad really. Ah, well.

So it would seem. It's just a google away you know. How 'alone' the US is will depend on if they act unilateraly or not and on how many countries chime in or not after the UN decides what to sanction and that might take weeks. With permission to use Greek and Turkish airbases and French materiel support they don't need any other help to launch stand-off raids against Syria. As a member of NATO and the only neighbouring country that's actually been attacked by Syria during this revolution, Turkey has the right to ask NATO to come to it's defence, but at present their plan seems to be to step in and try to keep order after Assad is overthrown. Since a million needy refugees from Syria are camped out in southern Turkey they're anxious to get things settled. There seem to be more variables and possible shifts in the balance of power than in most conflicts. As Assad said, this could inflame the entire region.
