Icelanders Take Anti Iraq War Campaign to U.S.



REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - A group of nationals from tiny Iceland slammed their government's support of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, apologizing to Iraqis in a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Friday.

The advertisement, paid for with donations from more than 4,000 citizens which constitutes about 1.4 percent of the population, demanded "that Iceland be immediately removed from the list of invaders in the 'coalition of the willing."'

"We apologies to the Iraqi people for the Icelandic ministers' support for the invasion of Iraq," the ad said.

Four out of five Icelanders want their country off the list, according to a Gallup opinion poll published earlier this month.

3. Good for them
I feel bad for people in Iceland, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries where people are 80-90 percent opposed to the war, but their dumb-ass Bush suck-up governments have followed Nero in his oh-so-foolish war plan. Well, it spelled the end of the Spanish conservative party and by the looks of it, the same thing is going to happen in Denmark. IF they won't listen to their own people, then they deserve to get shown the door.
