Shrinking Coalition of the Un-Willing

And yet further proof that the Bush administration has completely bungled the Iraq war, another country has requested that the administration “formally” remove its name from the coalition of the un-willing list:

Costa Rica demands it be removed from a U.S. list of countries supporting Iraq. [ link ]

After looking at the current list of the coalition of the un-willing, it’s clear why US troops continue to bear the brunt of the burden in Iraq (i.e., 1,005 US fatalities).

P.S. I’ll be attending a candle light vigil for our troops tonight… after paying my respects for the fallen, I hope to have a chance to take some pics.

P.S.S. If you want to participate, please click on the link above. Note that you’ll have to agree to the following:

• Our vigils will be simple and dignified. We’ll gather at 8:00 P.M., and stand in a circle, silently, for 45 minutes or so, holding candles — safely away from anything that could catch fire.
• Together, we’ll acknowledge the sacrifice made by the 1,000 brave American men and women who have given their lives in Iraq. It is a time to silently honor our fallen soldiers, and to reflect on the situation in Iraq where 114,000 American troops are now serving, and the events and decisions that led to them being stationed there.
• This is not a rally. Although we may be moved emotionally by our shared reflection and acknowledgement, this is not the place for speeches or announcements.
• These ground rules are important. We ask that you only attend the event if you agree to abide by them.
