Even more support

While much of the support is either symbollic, it's still good to hear that France and Germany don't speak for all of Europe. From this article:

Some of Europe's newest democracies have expressed the strongest support because of past U.S. economic and political support of their struggle to escape communism.



Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano, in a letter to Bush made public Thursday, pledged ``total and unconditional'' support in the showdown against Iraq. Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda of Slovakia called the declaration ``the clear, right word at the right time,'' and said he agreed with it.



OpinionJournal notes that, according to the Irish Independent, the taoiseach (Irish prime minister), Bertie Ahern, "expressed his annoyance" with the countries whose leaders signed the letter--not because he disagreed but because they didn't invite him to sign it. "Mr Ahern said he would have signed the letter if asked, but had not."

Also, Canada's Prime Minister says that another UN authorization won't be necessary if the UN inspectors find Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
