Apart from the US, and perhaps Britain (?), I haven't heard of any nation in the world that supports a unilateral strike against Iraq. I mean the people, not the government.
The worst thing is the the US is ignoring the people of the region where the conflict will take place - the Middle East. The arabs are overwhelmingly against the war.
Think of this if you were in their position. Say you live in Brazil. India is drumming up support to attack you for little substantial reasons, but have large commercial interests in your region. Public opinion polls in all the nations of the world are against India attacking you, apart from India. The UN has denounced the proposed invasion and any unilateral strike. India's only allies are Cambodia and Ethiopia, who have joined the Indian side, against the strenous objections of their own people. Everyone in your region denounces the war. Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuala etc are all totally opposed to any invasion, as it will further destabilise the region and cause major suffering. It will also only further India's own interests. India, however, against the beliefs of the people in South America decides to launch a war against Brazil, halfway around the globe and over and above the total objection of almost the entire world, especially all South Americans, who the Indians obviously think they know better than, because this is in the interests of Indian 'national security'. India invades you, and gloat over how technologically superior they are to you, and how 'bloodless' the war is, while they bomb your country to smithereens, kill many innocent civilians, and control the media, to make sure the world can see all the happy, smiling Brazilians. No-one sees the dead bodies, the blood, the houses destroyed by 'smart' bombs, and the children who will grow up with no parents because a nation on the other side of the world knows better than the rest of the Earth.
Welcome to the second dimension of the Iraqi war.
