Huey, I don't know that Scott was trying to answer your question directly. I don't know the exact count myself, but I do know that most eastern European countries as well as Spain and, I think, Italy support the US position. Recall that Chirac gave the eastern Euro leaders a dressing down for speaking out in favor of the US, telling them to "shut up" and even threatening their entry into the EU. Does that sound like the approach of someone comfortably in the majority and confident in his positions? I think not. Now, as Scott's article makes clear, supporting the US position does not preclude disagreeing on details or criticizing particular comments out of some US officials - that is healthy and helpful, IMO. The point of "our" side is to keep the maximum heat on Saddam until this is resolved - that's the only way there's any chance of a peaceful resolution.

PS: There are some on the right who are as unhelpful as Chirac and the rest of the whining anti-Bush crowd and probably should shut up, too. Steve Forbes was on CNBC this morning talking about Syria, Iran and N. Korea as if there's a list of who will be invaded next. I'm sure glad he never stood a chance of getting elected.

IMO, none of them will be invaded, nor should they be. Iran, in particular, has slowly been fixing itself and will continue on that path, especially if a democratic government can be established in Iraq.

bill bennett is a neocon zionist suck up to the jews. that's how you get on tv and sell books these days. have you ever heard the lovefest when he goes on dennis prager's (jewish) radio program? sean hannity is another suck up to the jews, just like rush limbaugh. why do you think they are the top radio show hosts. 'cause they kiss up to the jews, who own hundreds of radio stations. both of rush limbaugh's best-selling books were published by pocket books, a division of the jewish simon and schuster. of course simon and schuster is owned by viacom, which is jewish owned as well. bill bennett has had books published by simon and schuster too.
