Hey, you forgot Saudi Arabia. From which, in the Debka version, the current war has already been launched.

Without analyzing your list in detail, my recollection is that there is, at the very least, considerable ambiguity associated with the support of all but one of those countries.

Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Re: world opinion. ... OK, that makes Great Britain, Australia, Turkey, Jordan, Russia, Israel. So much for being a rogue nation."

(1) North Korea can probably find that many allies.

(2) You've include Great Britain, but they just said that they're not signing up for an attack. See, for example:

(3) You've included Turkey and Jordan, but they've repeatedly said "no".

(4) You've included Russia, but they've repeatedly said "nyet". For example see:

In a word, Mr. Cheney’s country has been systematically involved in actions which perpetrate war crimes and crimes against humanity. What right the USA has to plan and carry out an attack on a sovereign government is open to challenge, unless the international community does its ostrich act, again. The history of international diplomacy is at an all-time, shameful low.
