Alright, I know everyone is bored with pundits and commentary on the topic, but that won't stop me from posting something I found comical. Most know that the "coalition" was basically just British and American statists with a hodgepodge of Australian & Polish troops (yea, Poland sent their SAS equivalent - GROM - on horses).
Well, I found a list of those politicos who were "willing":
United States, Britain, Spain, Australia, Kuwait, Poland, Albania, Romania, Czech Republic, Portugal, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Georgia, Philippines, Uzbekistan, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Honduras, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Iceland, Singapore, Mongolia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panama.
Fear the mighty Costa Rican army (they don't have one). Or the Icelandic Vikings or the Golden Horde from Mongolia or the ever fierce & blood-thirsty Micronesians (which has no military)!
One must not forget Rwandans either (what in the world can they send?) or the awe-inspiring Panama and their dreaded ally, Uganda.
With these powers combined they will from Captain Pla... err Voltron and surely bring peace to the 4 corners of the earth.
Didn't Honduras get knocked back 50 technological years from a hurricane? I hear Eritrea is nice this time of year too. Hehe, offering political support in return for... ducats?
Oh, and I can now make a plug for my friend Matthew Barganier's latest column.
