>>>>>>That sounds good when you try to make Bush look good but it's nonsense........unfortunately. In Desert Storm, arab countries alone supplied 260,000 troops<<<<<<<<

The two situations really aren't analagous. In desert storm, sadaam committed an act of agression that by implication threatened them. It was in their self interest to join in the fight to remove sadaam from kuwait
In the current situation in Iraq, our stated aim was to remove an unpopular dictator from office, and to set up some sort of representative form of governmant there. The only other government that has some sort of representative government is Isreal. The others are either suppresive theocrstic or military dictatorships. The last thing they would want in the area is a successful form of non centralized governmant there. Most of the government either are state sponsors of terrorism- Iran being the biggest, or have tried to appease the radical mvements- Saudi Arabia

Why do you think that the Arab countries ahve refused to join in??
