FOUR (4) countries sent troops.
TWO (2) countries sent a significant number of troops.
Australia sent a couple hundred I think...noncombat.
Spain did some minor functionary stuff.
Several countries asked to be removed from the list (they weren't asked to participate...they were just listed).
The US State Department scorecard on individual country's human rights records listed about 10 of them as having equally bad or nearly equally bad records as that of Iraq itself.
Several of them have populations smaller than major US cities.

Most of those countries get about half of their GDP in US foreign aid. They pretty much have to join the bandwagon in giving lip service to the "coalition". It would be like Hungary going against the Kremlin back in the 60's. Not too smart.

What is really absent from the list are the major nations of Europe and the G8 countries.

Try again moenmac.
