Indeed, donations for flags are a great idea (FReepmail before sending), altho in addition to budget limits we do have limited woman/manpower for putting them up and making the poles. Here's the current Coalition list, according to Wikipedia:

I talked to a few Azerbaijanis when I was in Iraq. Good guys and very professional. They were even multilingual. I met one who spoke 8 languages. We spoke poor Russian to each other. lol
Some coutries who have withdrawm troops seem to have large segments of islomofacists among their citizenry, ie. Norway, Netherlands, Phillipines, to name some, and other countries with growing islam citizens, i.e Hungry. Interesting.
Great report as usual and my appreciation again to all the stalwart freepers. (Maybe you were all US Postal clerks in previous lives? Weather does not keep you from the performance of your duty!) And my long-distance thanks to Mr. T for shoveling and sanding!
P.S., however, a possible correction to the coalition list. I believe the Canadians are fighting very hard in Afghanistan?
