| | PWHCE - Coalition of the Willing List, Map and Troop Numbers |
 | | For example, Australia is listed as having 800 troops in Iraq, although November figures listed 850, and during March 2003 there were 2000 Australian troops in theatre, including warships, jet fighters and the Special Air Service, one of the world's finest special forces regiments. | | | This article by Solidarnosc democracy campaigner Adam Michnik (Poland) is a rebuttal of an attack made by a German journalist against Michnik, Vaclav Havel and George Conrad, in which the three were accused of abandoning their principles by 'uncritically' supporting America. | | | This includes Croatia and Slovenia (signatories to the Vilnius Statement, but not listed as part of the Coalition) and Norway and Sweden, which advocated a war to unseat Saddam Hussein until it became clear the UN would not support such a war, at which point they espoused offical positions of opposition to the war. |
