Re: Tom: The 'coalition'
coalition
n 1: an organization of people (or countries) involved in a pact or treaty [syn: alliance, alignment, alinement] [ant: nonalignment] 2: the state of being combined into one body [syn: fusion]
NOT a group of people who really don't care, but won't argue with you.
Now, the not-so-Great Britain and Australia ARE members of a coalition, with the US.
(Isn't Australia where the not-so-Great Britain sent its criminals to live? And the US where the religious zealots from the not-so-Great Britain moved? Have we progressed at all in the last umpty-ump years?)
