A Rogue Nation attacks Iraq
 

The Rogue Nation
-------------
United States
UK
Australia
Poland
Kuwait
Bahrain
Qatar
Jordan
UAE
Oman
Saudi Arabia
Kuwait
Japan
Portugal
Spain

Each of the above are supporting the Iraqi conflict with either troops, hosting bases, hosting various military headquarters, or professing support.

How many of them were paid?

id hate to be iraq

Not exactly a worldwide consensus.

yeah, but there's a few countries on that list i wouldn't want to fuck with

When your the biggest and baddest force in the world you need not worldwide consensus. Remember the school bully. And I might add the United Nations is a fuckin failure and a joke.
:thumbsup

Depends on your idea of what a "Rogue Nation" nation is. In my book, a rogue nation is a country that support terrorism, gases it's own citizens, and promotes violence.

Oh...like the US in the 1960s?

I put more faith in the countries listed above making descisions than France, China, Russia, Germany, etc. It's not a perfect world, people disagree, but hmm, what group am I more comfortable with?

and the nations actually involved in the military conflict with troops:

United States
UK
Australia

Many countries were made special deals to support the US, or they are joining in to stay on America's good side. Countries like Australia want to back the US so they can count on the US backing them if they even need help.

Then you have cases like the UK,
where the majority of the population and government are against the war. Its only 1 man (Blair) who is supporting the US.

Kuwait is probably the only country on that list (besides the US) which actually wants war.

Don't forget Poland. I know Romanian parliament voted to send 278 troops. Don't know if they are actually there though.

The world isn't a Democracy.

Nobody held a vote when he invaded Kuwait, gassed his own people, supported terrorists, stockpiles chemical and biological weapons, and ran his country into the ground.

Australia is a lot more like the UK. except that we're negotiating a free trade agreement with the US at the moment which probably explains the level of support. The US will always help Australia because it owns Australia. Not for our sake, but for the fact that we are basically their Spy network for Asia. Just protecting their own strategic bases and whatnot.

I'm for the war.

ddt rules.

Umm... yeh. That's how things usually work.

People take actions when they see an opportunity to better their life or situation. For example, you'll take a better job to earn more money to buy the nicer car. Countries do the same exact thing.

France, Germany, Russia... you don't think they're doing the same thing right now? They're protecting their financial interests. Hell, I'd do the same exact thing.

shit how can u people forget Isreal? They down too! Ya heard!

fo shizzle mah wizzle dizzle nizzle fizzle fozzle

Did the list of supporters recently grow, or are you just now learning of others?

Countries don't need to send troops, money, and supplies to help. Showing their official support is very good and appreciated.

And yes, I'm sure each of these countries will be remembered later down the road. Why wouldn't they? Just like Iraq would remember France, Germany, and Russia... not that it makes much of a difference anymore.

I forgot about the letter from the Eastern European countries.

Thats a good point. No one is taking Iraq serious, they are making a decesion based on money and what they stand to gain/lose if there is a war.
If people honestly believed Iraq was a serious threat to mankind they would all agree to kick ass.
He isn't though, Its a joke.

from the BBC:

US Secretary of State Colin Powell says 45 nations have signed up to the "coalition of the willing" against Iraq. Guess I'm missing a few.
