The following list, culled from reports by the U.S. State and Commerce Departments, along with other studies, includes some of those ways to form a coalition:

Albania is in line for NATO membership, which would bring not only international legitimacy but also more aid. But because NATO requires a unanimous vote to add a new member, Bush could easily block their membership.

Angola is the ninth-largest exporter of oil to the U.S., and future International Monetary Fund loans for developing its oil industry are at stake. Additionally, U.S. officials have threatened to cut back humanitarian aid to Angola -- $20 million in the current fiscal year -- because of its stained human rights record.

Bahrain, a small Persian Gulf state, is militarily dependent on the United States through arms purchases, training and the presence of U.S. bases on its soil.

Bulgaria, a member of the U.N. Security Council, is owed about $1.7 billion by Iraq, dating back to the Cold War. The Bush administration has promised that postwar Iraq will repay the debt. The U.S. has also promised to favor Bulgarian engineering and construction firms for contracts to rebuild the country after a war, in addition to helping Bulgaria become a member of NATO.

Cameroon, another U.N. Security Council member, is eligible for preferential access to U.S. markets through the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act enacted in 2000 -- provided it ''not engage in activities that undermine U.S. national security of foreign policy interests,'' one criterion of eligibility. Additionally, a proposed 670-mile oil pipeline from Chad to be built by Exxon Mobil and ChevronTexaco is at stake.

Chile, a Security Council member, is hoping a new free-trade agreement with Washington is approved by Congress. Such an agreement would give Chile the same trade status as Canada and Mexico -- a deal worth billions over time.

Costa Rica is negotiating a free-trade agreement between Central America and the United States. Negotiations began in January.

Estonia is in line for NATO membership.

Guinea, a Security Council member, received $3 million in U.S. military grants last year and is expected to get $20.7 million in development assistance this year. It is also eligible for preferential access to U.S. markets through the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act enacted in 2000 -- provided it ''not engage in activities that undermine U.S. national security of foreign policy interests."

Hungary looks forward to potential arms deals in exchange for hosting a U.S. training mission for Iraqi exiles.

Israel is seeking $4 billion in new grants and up to $10 billion in U.S. government guaranteed loans in exchange for shared intelligence and the guaranteed restraint by the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in the event of an Iraqi attack.

Jordan stands to win $460 million in aid and loans in Bush's 2004 budget proposal, up $150 million from last year.

Kuwait is militarily dependent on the U.S. through arms purchases, training and the presence of U.S. bases.

Latvia, in line for NATO membership, has granted requests for U.S. military use of its airspace.

Lithuania, in line for NATO membership, has granted requests for U.S. military use of its airspace.

Macedonia, in line for NATO membership, has granted requests for U.S. military use of its airspace.

Mexico sends 80 percent of its exports to the U.S. market. Trade, increased aid for anti-drug-trafficking initiatives, and immigration negotiations are all at stake for the U.N. Security Council member.

Pakistan, another key vote on the U.N. Security Council, saw a 15 percent increase in clothing and textile exports to the U.S. in late 2001, worth $500 million to Pakistani manufacturers. Bush has also promised $1 billion in debt forgiveness this year.

The Philippines received $71 million in USAID money in 2002. On Feb. 21, the U.S. announced it would send an additional 1,700 troops to help fight terrorism.

Poland is being courted to host a new U.S. base. It recently received a $3.8 billion U.S. government subsidized loan to finance the purchase of Lockheed Martin F-16 combat aircraft.

Qatar is militarily dependent on the U.S. through arms purchases, training and the presence of U.S. bases.

Romania is in line for NATO membership.

Saudi Arabia is militarily dependent on the U.S. through arms purchases, training and the presence of U.S. bases. It is also under pressure to improve relations with the U.S. that have been strained since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Slovakia is in line for NATO membership.

Slovenia is in line for NATO membership.

Turkey failed to pass a first vote to allow U.S. troops access to the Turkey-Iraq border, but it is likely to approve a second one -- if the U.S. can sweeten the proffered $26 billion in aid and loans with a promise to protect Turkey from an insurgency by Iraqi Kurds.

United Arab Emirates is militarily dependent on the U.S. through arms purchases, training and the presence of U.S. bases.
