Across the world, public opinion is now overwhelmingly opposed to war on Iraq, as measured in countless opinion polls, including in those states - such as in eastern Europe - hailed by the Bush administration for supporting US war plans. With the shaky exceptions of Israel and the US itself, there now appears to be no country in the world where a majority backs war on Iraq without UN authorization. As the established international institutions buckle under the weight, we are witnessing an unprecedented globalization of public opinion. Those who defy it may find they pay a far higher price than expected. The Guardian
