Read the international press, watch the demos in the world against the war, watch how many countries vote against an Iraq war in the UN. It is guessed that roughly 70 % to 80 % of the world population is against an Iraq war. Of course it is hard to poll in countries like China and I would guess that many people around the world have much more pressing problems on their hands then a war against the Iraq so they are indifferent to it. However, to sum it up, one could savely say that quite a majority is against an US war against the Iraq if not backed by another UN resolution.. But as it seems, the US won't get one.
