Why are the names of the countries on the list funny, John?

Updated list of "funny" countries and/or countries with "funny" names signed onto the Mother of All Unilateral Coalitions - Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan (post- conflict), Jordan, South Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Oman, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan.

Some of the above are basically just allowing troop movements through, which, of course, applies to Belgium and Germany as well. But I assume that Belgium and Germany aren't funny countries.
