I am not so naive to think that the Gulf War was charity work by the coalition forces. They had interests to protect as well. But it is a situation where one country invaded another with unprovoked, and the world responded first with attempts at diplomacy, and then force. Allies working together to right a wrong.

I see your point, so my point doesn't stand. My bad. Anyway, but I think that an ally can be in need of your help even if you don't agree with their actions, though. And if you really depend on them, you are forced to help even if you don't want. (I.E France VS USA, Canada and USA)
