"Virtually Everybody" allowed airspace? No... while a lot of nations did, a few major ones didn't, the biggest of those being Turkey.
As for the coalition, while 30 nations expressed support, only 2 or 3 (UK, Australia, Poland...) of them sent combat soldiers... unlike Desert Storm with its large coalition of troops from many nations... you CAN'T say that the cooalition is nearly as strong as the 1991 one was and tell the truth...
Oh, and there has been NO use of chemical or biological weapons by the Iraqis after 2 days of war. NONE.
