Costa Rica's Supreme Court ruled that the war broke international law and that the country's support for the war contradicted its constitution, the government declared its withdrawel of support that was merely moral anyways as Costa Rica has no army.

The Arab League unanimously condemned the war, with the exception of Kuwait.

As an American of Danish extraction, I can only say one thing:

Shame on Denmark for your collaboration with Bush.
