Smirky must be freaking out!!

Down to Eritrea and the Soloman Islands!!!!!!!!! Oh no, the horror the horror.

we were counting on.

damn that old Europe, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and our troops get exposed to more and more for longer and longer.

Thanks, George W, I rather like living in a banana republic.

Let's see -- Poland out, Honduras out, Spain out, Netherlands out, Croatia out -- who's left? PLEASE tell me Albania is still on our side!!

El Salvador, Macedonia, and South Korea are still part of the Coalition. Oh...didn't Japan send a slingshot or something?

They would commit only to high-altitude-launched spitballs, and only then in the face of great popular opposition.

IRAQ is NOT part of the "global anti-terrorism effort."

:puke: when even news services that should know better morph anti-terrorism with Iraq!

If they receive any to begin with. That's what happens when states refuse to sign Article 98 agreements.

Who's next to drop out, i wonder?

First I think this is excellent news, especially given the way that the US has been threatening and bullying Croatia on this issue, as well as on the International Criminal Court.

It takes guts to stand up to the Bush regime, because they have shown they will retaliate against dissenters, and they have threatened Croatia, Bosnia and other countries.

But I have to say I'm really appalled at the attitude of the posters on this thread who are showing an incredible arrogance which I can only associate with American ignorance and imperialism.

There's really no need to display this kind of ignorance, just because you know nothing of this country and consider it to be a small powerless place.

You should instead be recognizing the kind of courage that it takes for small countries to stand up to the Bush bullies.

I really think there's no hope for the US if even at progressive places like DU we're seeing this kind of imperialistic attitude.
