The United State of Americaâs Allies
EFLUntil the March 11 terrorist attacks in Madrid and its aftermath in the election of a Socialist anti-Iraq-war government in Spain, not much had been written in the establishment press about the countries fighting alongside the United States in the coalition forces. Even though troops from 36 nations were on the ground with U.S. troops as action to liberate Iraq began last March, and more than 80 nations are helping with reconstruction, the Bush administration had been described by Democratic partisans as "going it alone" and fighting the war "unilaterally." Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) has said he will repair U.S. relations with the "rest of the world," as if opposing countries such as Germany, France, Russia and a few radical Islamic states in the Middle East somehow constitute opposition from the "rest of the world." This is an illuminating article. Please read as this writer highlights many of allies, such as El Salvador and the hundreds of troops this small country has sent to help us and the Iraqi people.
