It's getting down to the short strokes for Tony now.. he's spent this day telephoning his fellow world leaders.. drumming up support for the upcomming vote..
An ICM poll published in Sunday's News of the World suggests 69% of people back war with Iraq.
It is the first public poll to be published since Dr.Blix delivered his final report to the UN in New York last Friday night ..suggests just 22% now oppose military action. Less than a fortnight ago, another ICM poll suggested 52% opposed military action in Iraq. But.. 77% of those who support war against Iraq said there must be a second UN resolution.
The need for a second UN resolution is reinforced by the fact that just 15% of the public as a whole would support war without one.
The problem being, there are still folks turning out in their numbers around this world, demanding, for whatever their reasons might be, that war not be an option at all..
Curious as to where these folks were, when raq invaded Iran.. when Egypt invaded Israel..
Also curious to hear their solutions to the ongoing carnage in the Middle East..
