Some of my best friends are Slavs.

Are they for or against the war? I am trying to get an accurate count here...

"New Europe" is supposedly the countries that were recently freed from Soviet domination. I guess they know the meaning of oppression. A lesson that old Europe seems to have forgotten.

Russia has forgotten the meaning of the word opression?

Well, if the only statistics you trust are the ones where EVERYONE is counted, then I'm afraid there isn't too much information available right now.

E.g., we don't really know that America's GDP is higher than Iraq's... you know, we didn't count every single dollar.

Opinion polls are notoriously biased one way or another depending on who is asking the questions and how they are asked. Does anyone ever bother to ask the villagers in Thailand for example? Much of the world's people do not have telephones. These people are virtually ignored. There is no way to know how many actual people support or oppose the war.

Well then, how many people who ride your trains are opposed to war?

We could try asking the villagers in any country - provided that they know where Iraq is and what is attacking it.

Of course, America could also choose to ignore the rising resentment and fear, and instead indulge in these fantasies of "worldwide support".

Perhaps it is time for America to put away the illusion of international support and wake up to the fact that they have squandered much of the international goodwill accumulated during and after the Cold War.

Thats the only way it'll save itself.

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

Such powerhouses

with a population of 1.18bn

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

Kuwait, Cyprus, Iceland, Bahrain, Qatar.

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

Actually there is rising support except for commies like Che.

Australia: 90 percent oppose war, 100 percent margin of error? Sorry, I dont think so.....When it becomes a supermajority, you know that no matter how you read the ballots, its not ognna turn out in your favor

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