That's an interesting link. Thanks.

80-90% of the Spaniards opposed the war, yes. The previous government wasn't as much voted out for the war as the blatant attempt to use the Madrid bombings for political gain (by insisting it was ETA despite evidence to the contrary).

I don't know how much you're getting in the US about the ugly face of the war, but we're getting a great deal here. And it's not exactly making Europe feel any fonder of Bush and friends (nor is the US stance on Israel and Palestine doing the US any favours). And most importantly, it is making Iraqis angrier. The heavy-handedness of the US could end up with a general Iraqi uprising and then things are just going to go straight to hell.

I just hope the US is not stupid enough to go into Najaf as they have Falluja.
