Korean Coalition vs. Iraq Coalition

Mark R. Levin has an interesting column comparing the UN lead Korean coalition to the US lead Iraq Coalition… Fact I find astonishing is that during the Korean War there were only 16 countries represented and in Iraq there are 32; I suppose the Americans should have been highly upset about this between 1950 -53. Some other fascinating facts:
Poland, the Ukraine, and the Netherlands each contribute more military personnel to the Iraq War coalition than France contributed to the Korean War.

The Korean War was fought with minimal support from France, no support from the then-Federal Republic of Germany, and against the Russian-backed Communist regime in North Korea.
