Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Found this list of the coalition members at CNN (Guess this is in addition to UK, USA and Australia) :
According to the Bush administration and press reports, the coalition consists of: Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Palau, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Rwanda, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
Can anyone else spot some countries here you normally wouldn’t find in a coalition fighting for “democracy and human rights” ?
Wonder what reason they are giving their own population for joining the coalition ?
And then there are of course some countries that have absolutely no armed forces at all. Well, I guess GWB really appreciate the moral support as he don’t get very much of it.
