Don't make such baseless assumptions. It's just that European Union did not, and would not unless facd with a situation it was forced into, invade Iraq.

First of all Great Britan and Poland were two countries who sent forces to remove Saddam. But the accusation of Europeans, applies more specifically to those countries like France, Germany, etc. Who don't have the backbone to pick a daisy by themselves much less remove someone with as large a military as Saddam. Sure they collectively have the manpower, the weapons, and the capital to do so. But lake of a significant backbone is not some trivial issue to be discarded. Most European countries would be hard pressed to fight their way out of a paper bag, but there are some notable exceptions. However the exceptions don't begin with an "F" and end with "rance" nor do they begin with a "G" and end with "ermany".
