My friend is an engineer working, the last I heard, on building a power
plant in Nasiriyah which is closer to Bashrah than Baghdad. He would be
referring to other nationalities he has seen or heard about over there.
Perhaps he doesn't have up-to-the minute information on which nationalities
are represented there. If I were doing that sort of work I don't think I
would. That wouldn't have been one of his concerns. Nevertheless in
contrast to the image that America is "an army of one," I found his and
Teemu's comments refreshing.

I forwarded some information from the Global Security web page about
non-US/UK forces in Iraq. Part of it was out of date. Poland has
postponed the withdrawal of its troops until the end of this year. (The
decision to withdraw them by the end of 2005 was made by a former
government.) Ukraine, however, withdrew all its forces in December 2005,
so if Lawrence's friend saw any Ukrainian troops, they were probably
free-lancing.
