Coalition of 20th Century Losers?

03.20.03 | 6 Comments

The list of US allies is less than impressive:

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan.

One of them the US is currently occupying. Two others are hosts to US “military advisors” directing the war against terrorism and the war on drugs. Thirteen were members of the Soviet Union or the Warsaw Bloc. Two were Axis powers in WWII, another in WWI. At least three had fascist regimes. One was part of the former Yugoslavia. One has nuclear weapons. None are Arab. None are members of OPEC.
