Allies in the War on Terror

John Kerry wants to "go back to our allies" and build a "real" coalition to fight the enemy in the war on terror. Which ally or allies are those, specifically? The only nation in the entire free world with a substantially trained and equipped military is already on board, that being England.

As of August 5, 2004, there were 29 non-U.S. military forces contributing to the ongoing stability operations throughout Iraq. These countries were Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Thailand, United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

France and Germany have said they will not go into Iraq even if Kerry wins. Russia has shown it is incapable of fighting terrorists when it botched the school hostage crisis in Beslan. China is not an ally, and we cannot trust them with intel or our weapons. The UN as a body is corrupt, as we found out by invading Iraq and discovering the Oil for Food program.

Senator, which country is it that we need to work with who isn't already in the coalition?
