Out of London, a lot of people don't care what happens.
Inside London, there are a lot of Iraqis and there is support for war.
This is pretty general as there are a lot of people who are against war, but they are the vocal minority and are the normal protesting bunch of students and liberals who have never spoken to an Iraqi in their lives.

In Europe, the left wing is vocal. In the US, it has been the right wing vocal minority in the past for the past 10 years or so. They have gotten pretty good at "spinning" the news in the US and the masses believe them...and still do! The problem is that Europeans see right through it. Everyone knows its about oil that is the really reason for taking action NOW; waiting a few months is not going to change things much....except for the fact that the American economy needs cheap oil very badly right now. Everyone in the world knows this except a majority of Americans it seems.

Had this been Clinton taking this action, the support would have been far greater over there. I bet Tony Blair wishes for the good ole days when Clinton was in charge. Maybe Clinton's recent comments supporting the idea that a second resolution is not necessary is a way to offer his support to Blair, who is in trouble.

fwiw..I still trust Blair far more than Bush.
