country making up their own mind about whether to go to war or not.
By your logic, France didn't oppose the US position because it didn't send troops to oppose it. That makes no sense. It's as easy as can be. Those countries agreed in public with the US position. That's that.

Actually, you are supporting what I've been saying. Thank you.
So, there are not 45 countries who have sent military troops to fight in Iraq.
So I go back to a question I have asked: What is the BIG support that these other 44 countries (exclusing England) have given the "coaltion" that has proven valuable to the war effort?
P.S. And while you are fond of using the big number of FORTY FIVE countries, that groups doesn't even represent 1/4 th of the number of sovereign countries in the world.
From countrywatch.com:
Below is a list of Independent and Sovereign States of the World
Total count of Independent States: 192
And you haven't answered what is the total % of the world's population from these 45 countries (Excluding the US)?
