Should be noted that both Spain and France are actively participating at
Afganistan, which is UN operation. Iraq is unlawful invasion, with no
United Nations backing.

Unlawful invasion my ass. Read UN resolution 1441
(and the dozen or so earlier ones, almost all of
which charge the members with forcing Iraq to comply
with the resolutions). A few members accepted their
role (e.g. - US, UK, others) - while others were too
busy trying to cover their own violations of the sanctions
- and maintaining some very lucrative deals with Saddam.
