'I don't know anyone who thinks that the Hungarian troops should stay there,' said Laszlo Komjati, a 27-year-old Hungarian. 'The whole thing is a mess, and we've already lost one soldier. I think we should bring the guys home as soon as possible.'

"All Albanians support U.S. policy, but I don't think the people support sending our troops there," said Petrit Molla, a mechanic in Albania, which has 71 non-combat soldiers in Iraq.

"What emotions I have every time I turn on the TV," said Dragna Baron, 60, a librarian in Romania, which has about 730 soldiers in Iraq. "They should come home — it's too risky."

Jan Kavan, a former Czech foreign minister and former president of the U.N. General Assembly who is now an influential lawmaker, said he thinks his nation's 98 troops should come home as scheduled by Dec. 31 without an extension of their mandate:
