There is a point here ickey. When you add it up, there are more people and countries that support the U.S. than are currently opposed to us. Having a background in journalism let me tell you how the media has spun these war protests. They are focusing only on the protesters, their views and civilians who are sympathetic to their side. The reporters write their stories in such a way to give the impression to the average listener or viewer that the view of what really is a small majority of the world, is the sentiment felt and held by almost everyone on the entire planet. Whether you have realized it or not, you are the victim of "spin". Still not convinced? Then ask yourself, surely there must be people supporting us around the world, even if it's only a thousand people. Why isn't there any mention on this in the media? Why isn't there any mention of the 40+ countries that have and are showing support for us? Why is the media only focusing on the 2 or three countries opposing us?
