well imho its just the US, UK and spain that are actually working together
most of the other countries were simply afraid to make a stance of their own.

if they support the us and uk they should also send active help. Not necessarily armoured, but support, medics, ...

i do absolutely not agree with what is happening in iraq, but the ones who said they would support, them should have done so properly.
i think this would have helped with the current protests against the war.
a more international coalition would have been much stronger in every way.

btw, belgium (where i live) is against this war, but even our government and army provided help with loading trucks, supplies, .. onto ships (quite some us soldiers have stations in belgium and germany), and opening airspace, as was agreed in international laws

you can find it on www.foxnews.com
EDIT: Scratch that, I can't find anything there, nor on Google, Ask Jeeves, CNN, BBC, AP or ABC.
Could've sworn I saw a list on Fox....

At the Veteran's Affairs medical clinic today, I heard two WWII vets say a small country in the Pacific sent 100 troops to join the coalition, that was 50% of their entire fighting force.

Andrew, as I responded to your EXACT SAME POST on FC, here is a NYT link showing the 40+ countries in the coalition. There's also a number of Arab states that are helping Kuwait at this time in its defense against Iraqi agression.
