Seems worth adding. Yemen, Afghanistan and many more are quite happy for the US to preform the strike and for them to take the credit publicly. It's win-win. Fragile/corrupt governments look strong, the US get to deny having anything to do with it.

Cain's probably more your man here, but I'd guess the real list must be 2/3 times longer than that.
