, "How much does do we charge to allow another nation to support our military action in Iraq?". It's what they charge us for their support. Turkey's price tag is said to be upwards of $35B. You obviously didn't see the Prime Minister of Italy yesterday when he heaped praise on the United States for what it is doing. You understand zero about Europe. Beside the UK, the remaining countries supporting us are so dependent on the US, that they have little choice. Italy and Spain spend next to nothing on defense. Former soviet block countries need money, have no defense, and their help is token... the few Arab countries that are supporting us are doing so at great risk, that should be a good test for you...they should have the most to lose if Iraq was a danger to them, Bush should have no trouble enlisting them. The ME is where he is having the most opposition. It should be obvious that the deck is stacked. This stupid war is splitting the US, Europe, and the Arab world. The great unifier is busy at work. Al
