I was talking about the opinion of people.  In a January Gallup poll, the last one I 
could find, the numbers were:
**************************************************

Again, though, I definitely believe that those numbers are skewed by the presence of 
the "UN option."   If truly forced to choose between "supporting the US in War without 
UN" and "opposing the US in war without the UN", I think that those numbers look much 
differently.

Moreover, I think that the opions of governments are more important that those of 
polls.   I think that this is a prime example of why republican government is 
preferrable to a direct democratic government.... as sometimes governments need to 
make tough decisions that an inexpert populace might not make.
