Bush's War Supporters Dwindles Worldwide

Thinkprogess has compiled a "Coalition Of The Defeated"  These leaders supported the invasion with troops and did not redeploy those troops from Iraq. Of 14 major partners in the Coalition, eight leaders were defeated in elections, two stepped down, two were term limited, and two remained in office. So, this does indicate what the rest of the world thinks about our war on fear.
