You are missing the point. I'm not dismissing nor ignoring the protests and protesters, there are always protests. I'm discussing support from nations. In Afghanistan, the US did get real international support from nation states. For an example of the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq, NATO is in Afghanistan, not in Iraq. Aside from support from a couple of individual NATO member states, Bush was unable to get the approval needed from NATO member states as a whole to go into Iraq. My comment stands. Among allies that count, Afghanistan troubled no one - support was broad. This is NOT the case with Iraq.
