You probably already knew the occupation was unpopular in Italy,
where 95% are opposed to
any participation.
And you may have known that in the Netherlands, who are about to pull out all of their troops, opposed
any invasion of Iraq without a UN mandate by 80%.
But what has changed is the attitudes in Eastern Europe.
The Bush Administration made it known that slim majorities of the populations of various Eastern European countries backed the occupation early. I believe that was left-over "goodwill" from the Cold War.
But support in Poland is vanishing. Polls show that
60% now oppose sending troops. Poland has recently started pulling troops out.
The Ukrainain Paliment recently voted to remove
all their troops. Occupation involvement has always been "deeply unpopular" there, where 72% wanted their troops pulled out.
And today a Romanian poll shows that
55% now oppose having troops in Iraq.
I would be curious what a truly representative poll in Iraq might say.
