The major media outlets now provide a daily scorecard of which governments have agreed to a U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Are there any countries, aside from the U.S., where the public supports a war?

(I just checked the latest polls to make sure we're still pro-war. Apparently, Americans still favor a war but will oppose it if Iraq destroys some missiles tomorrow, a result that I find bewildering. Lots of other fascinating numbers in this poll.)

I'm sure there are sample errors, although I would expect Gallup to avoid the more obvious ones. Also, as they state, "question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias".

But even among this sample, 40% of those who favor a war think their support for it rests on Iraq not destroying "certain missiles" this weekend!

I guess that's a pretty safe statement, though, for people who are sure Iraq won't disarm.
