In virtually all European countries, more than 80% oppose a unilateral war. Based upon what polls? Any references? In Canada, it is 90%. Again, based upon what polls? Any references? And In America, only 30% support a unilateral war... And, yet again: references, sources, documentation? ...(though probably less than 70% will oppose it). What do you base that "probably" upon? Let's say that there is a 50% chance that France will veto. And a 50% chance that US will not go to war without a second IN [sic] resolution. That's a 25% chance that war will not happen. In a hilariously ultra-simplistic scenario, yes. And I gave 80% credit to the worldwide protests. "80% credit"? That works out to be the 20% that I mentioned. It doesn't "work out" to anything but an arbitrary plucking of numbers. But, whatever gets you where you're going, I guess, right? LPS5
