Depends what you mean by "back". Only 4 governments have sent troops: US,
UK, Australia (2000) and Poland (a handful of special forces). And depends
on what you mean by *countries* - I say *governments* as opposed to
countries because most people in most countries are against the war. For
instance it is said that Spain supports the invasion (hardly *war*) but 90%
of the population is against the war. So could you say with any degree of
accuracy that Spain is for the "war"?

I think we make a grave error in allowing them to frame the debate.
