Five countries participated (sent troops) in the invasion of Iraq: The
US, Austria, Poland, the UK and Denmark.
The United States, the UK, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Turkey, Spain,
Italy, France, and Germany all fought in the Balkans. Would you care to
restate your point?
Why are the Balkans such a hobgoblin for you, anyway? It was a NATO
operation, and the US as a member of NATO had an obligation to
participate. Do you think we should leave NATO? Maybe we can make our
own club, one with no girls allowed.
