Other debt relieves are also under considerations in some countries including Saudi Arabia.
As for Japan, it has still put some planes of Air Self-Defense Force in operation in Iraq, though its ground troops were withdrawn this July after two and a half year's humanitarian-support operation.
The Iraq War cannot be a war of nobody else's but America's only.
If Americans think so, the outcome will someday prove that it is not so.
Even if the President of the U.S. thinks so, the outcome will someday prove that it is not so.
