Coalition grows. Old Europe still pouting.

Actually there is rising support except for commies like Che.

From where? The countries that are supporting the war are the ones who have already thrown their towels in with the US. None of the Arab countries are supporting it, and neither are the countries opposing it before.

Why do you think that the US ran away from tabling a UNSC resolution?

[Spiffor]

Is there any country outside the US whose polls indicate a majority for the war ? Even a relative majority ?

[chequita guevara]

Israel and Kuwait.

[Lincoln]

The question I was answering UR was rising US support. And many Arabs support the overthrow of Saddam.

[chequita guevara]

Honestly though, I wouldn't brag about all the sycophants and bootlickers that are members of this supposed "coalition of the willing."

[Shi Huangdi]

Latest polls have indicated 50% of Britons support a war while 42% oppose IIRC

Such powerhouses





And how much of it actually supports war? Oops, dont you think?



Not only does Saddam have to worry about the US, but he has to worry about CYPRUS!!!!

you quote tiny countries that are powerless in a military sense in order to diminish their support for the US?

Yet, i'm sure you would have no problem in reciting or including all of the same types of militarily insignificant countries that make up those that oppose the US...

Governments are falling in with the coalition to maintain working relations with the US -- and out of fear, as well.

Popular sentiment, in the meantime, is strongly anti-US around the world. Countries are hesitating about sending troops in and restricting themselves to "hospital ships" or "humanitarian efforts" because they fear their own people - whether in elections or in coups.

As for whether Arabs support or oppose toppling Saddam, that is irrelevant. What is relevant is how much they like the US. And the answer is - they don't.

Because France said they would veto it no matter what it said. Why bother?

And, The US already got 18 resolutions that back force over the past 12 years...

starting with the first in 1991. Iraq had to give up all indicated weapons or face a continuation of the war.

But the world backed down.

Short memories.....oh well.

Short memories are the downfall of the world.

Yeah...China isn't really a major threat at all, is she? Neither is Russia.....or GERMANY Or even France, huh?

Another oops commited by the far right.

Right. Only the powerful should be allowed a voice...

So then every single poll in America is invalid because it doesnt survey every single person, right? Including Bush approval ratings AND support for war Uh oh!

Yes. I'm disappointed the world backed down from the 33 Israeli violations,a s well.

Also, the US said early on that if it could get 9 votes, it would bring it up But they COULDNT get nine votes from even small economically poor countries THAT must say something.

China has not been the major voice opposing the war.

The french have because of their economic arrangement with iraq.

And no, russia and germany are not major military powers. I had to point that out??

No, I was talking about powerful nations as well. It seems like you would only give a voice to powerful people and nations.
