	Coalition Troop Count in Iraq - Updated 4/22/04 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		I attempted to find a comprehensive list of how many troops each country has committed to Iraq as part of George W. Bush's "Coalition Of The Willing." The information was difficult to find - most sources would only have information about a single country, and the numbers in some cases conflicted.
		Countries are listed as a "0" if they had troops but pulled them out, or if they were listed as a member of the Coalition, but never sent troops.
		Many countries on the list below have publically said they are removing their troops - but until an active removal is underway, I list their current troop numbers.

		Troop deployments are overwhelmingly supportive of host countries, and warm relations between soldiers and local populations are the norm.

		Worsening education, economies, and mortality rates have contributed to HDI declines amongst countries in the first group, while HIV/AIDS and concomitant mortality is the principal cause of decline in the second group.
