Four in five Europeans oppose war, says poll January 30 2003 Four out of five Europeans are opposed to participation in a US-led war on Iraq without explicit United Nations backing, according to a poll published today. According to the survey by pollsters EOS Gallup Europe, 82 per cent of European citizens would not support their countries' participating in a military intervention without UN support. This figure is 75 per cent in the 13 countries waiting to join the EU - Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Malta, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. A total of 15,080 people took part in the survey, conducted from January 21-27 by pan-European pollsters who often carry out similar studies for the European Commission. It also revealed that 72 per cent of Europeans believe that Iraq's oil resources are the main reason behind Washington's desire to intervene militarily. Two thirds, or 66 per cent, of those questioned across Europe agree that Iraq poses a serious threat to world peace - a figure that rises to 74 per cent in Britain, and 87 per cent in Slovakia, compared with just 43 per cent in Turkey. Just 41 per cent characterised US foreign policy as "positive," while 54 per cent thought it was "negative", the poll showed. In the 15 EU states, some 55 per cent of citizens felt there was a real threat of terrorist attack in their countries, including 83 per cent in Britain, 70 per cent in Spain, 59 per cent in both France and Italy. The figure dropped to 27 per cent in the 13 candidate countries. Across the European continent, 70 per cent of people were "rather or very pessimistic" about the world's situation, the survey showed. smh.com.au

Regarding that "acid trip" ..... ..... We would DEFINITELY be safer with Ted Kennedy as president. We'd be safer with Donald Duck as president. Ted Kennedy has more brains in his ear lobe than Dubya has in his entire body. Dubya is a demigod who has lost touch with reality based on his fraudulent "election" and his 9/11 "mandate." Dubya is a moron, a party boy, and a pathetic model of American privilege, whereas Ted Kennedy has legitimately dedicated his life to public service. Granted, the man has a drinking problem and has been a womanizer, but he regularly has built coalitions in the United States Senate. BTW, what's this nonsense about Kerry chasing women? Who's on the "acid trip," anyway? /john
