Going it alone? The following countries have expressly supported the U.S. position:
COALITION OF THE WILLING
Afghanistan Estonia Netherlands Albania Ethiopia Nicaragua Australia Georgia Philippines Azerbaijan Hungary Poland Bulgaria Italy Romania Colombia Japan* Slovakia Czech Republic Korea Spain Denmark Latvia Turkey El Salvador Lithuania United Kingdom Eritrea Macedonia Uzbekistan
*Japan's participation will be only after the conflict has ended.
15 other countries have privately supported the U.S.' position.
The list is interesting in that it contains many victims of past aggressors or dictators. I would say that Afghanistan, Estonia, Albania, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan all remember what it is like to live under the thumb of a violent dictator. |
