In response to your framing the (in)significant number of the 30 odd who were part of the "Coalition of the Willing" . . .it is pertinent to point-out the unanimous vote in the UN.

!!!Unanimously the UN countries say that they are for forcing Saddam . . . they have to say this as the problem is that HUGE . ..that OBVIOUS.

You see, EVERYONE saw the problem (thus the citation)

Because NOT everyone acted (appropriately) with troops does not make our efforts less legitamate. Quite the contrary. WE stepped-up when others wwwwhhhhiiiiiiiiiinnnned.

As we know now, the French wanted to appear that they were on the right side of the problem, but were clearly on the take. . . in bed with Saddam.

Now THAT is dishonest.
