Re: Arrogance illustrated. AMEN AMEN AMEN
Which of Bush or Chirac best represents the overwhelming opinions of the people of Europe, of the Western world (incl USA), of Asia, of the Middle East.
Such a simple question, just watch the weasel responses (or lack of response) from these two 'brothers-in-arms'

I know which one represents an adult personality.

There are leaders of world opinion, there are followers, and then there are tantrum-throwing assholes like Chirac.

You'd better check your facts.
The "world" isn't coming around.
Look at the huge protests.
But the people in the governments can be bought.
The problem is, keeping them bought until we invade.
Otherwise, you have to buy them again.

So the "world" is all protesting?
Add up the protests to get...oh...1.5 million people...and...what's the world population?
Must be your own form of propoganda.
Look...there's a gang over there bitching about not being able to smoke in restaurants. Must mean THE WORLD wants to smoke in restaurants.

So, compare it to the number of people...
demonstrating *for* war.
Perhaps the rest of the people don't know or care or aren't allowed to express their deeply held convictions.
I'll be looking for pickets with "Annihilate Iraq Now!" signs.

while numbers weren't listed
the Houston Chronicle's lead-in photo for the protest story was of the people protesting the protestors.

Makes me wonder - do those counts of millions include or exclude those protesting in support of the war...

Excuse me?
We have somebody offended by "equal coverage" without actually giving any details of how much coverage one side received versus the other.
I didn't see "equal coverage" here...and there were pro-action marchers here. The major networks were certainly not giving "equal coverage" of pro-war demonstrators either.
This demonstrates how easy it is to put up a web page and bitch about something.
It proves zero.

1.5 million total protestors.
You must be getting those numbers from that damn librul media again. Only US outlets have numbers that low. Most foreign press puts the protests in London *alone* at 1.5 mil. Totals range from the anemic US corporate media estimate of 1.5 to 8 million+ reported buy less bought-and-paid-for analysts.
Many cities report they had the largest public gathering in their entire history. Note: I did not say "largest protest march"

So it was 8 million.
Still a rounding error compared to world population.

Dimiss the "largest gathering in history" of many cites/nations as a *rounding* error.
Were the worldwide shows of support after 9/11 rounding errors also?

No...you continue to miss the point.
People protested. Quite a few of them. In some places...it was very impressive.
This does NOT equate to "the world" backing a position...or "the world" not supporting a war. This equates to however many protesters there were feeling compelled to voice their opinion.
Point...in case you feel inclined to miss it again...one cannot say "the world supports x" based on this. It would not be accepted in kind by the original poster (or a multitude of others here) much the same as I was asked to supply a poll backing my assertion...then did supply that poll...and all of a sudden..."well they didn't ask the question right"...etc...ad nauseum.
So...how about you stop knee-jerk reacting to statements and follow the bouncing ball?
(PS...the link you provided also requires a hefty download in addition to flash...and...no agenda there at all, eh?)

You point was unsubtle. I got it.
A part of the whole does not equal the whole. As that is rather self evident, I thought I would speak to something else in your post.
I was commenting on your typically dismissive attitude to the protests/protestors.

Not dismissive.
I was actually rather impressed. Its quite an organizational accomplishment to stage that many protests in that many locations and get that kind of a turnout.

We had a guy from England in the office last week.
I asked him if Blair is apt to lose the next election because of anit-war mood in Britain. His answert was - the press is hysteric, but the ordinary people he knows don't quite care about Saddam one way or another.
Just another data point.
