Dana Milbank in the Post reports that the "Coalition of the Willing" is really the "coalition of the willing to not piss off the white house for fear of being next on the list to be attacked". Or is it the coalition of the willing to make money from Iraq's oil reserves or contracts? Time will tell, eh? Here's my favorite member of the coalition to date:
Palau, an island group of nearly 20,000 souls in the North Pacific, has much to contribute. It has some of the world's best scuba diving, delectable coconuts and tapioca. One thing Palau cannot contribute, however, is military support: It does not have a military.
Perhaps they could send humanitarian aide in the form of tapioca and fresh coconuts for pina coladas for all (non-alcoholic of course) when the war is over.
