Michael, You certainly did ignore the protestors; you spoke of a massive wave of world support. If you meant to say that Afghanistan had support from NATO then you should have been more specific. The US went into Iraq with the support of England, Australia and about 30 other countries, but not France or Germany. If you think France and Germany have to lend their (largely symbolic) support to a US move for it to be "legitimate" then you're entitled to your opinion. Personally, after the way France and Germany have been conducting their foreign policy (purely for cash, it seems), I don't think they are in any position to appoint themselves moral arbiters. How is the US supposed to pass a "global test" when the graders are taking bribes to fail us?
