Anybody with a functioning brain is opposed to the war in Iraq unless it's for personal profit. The deaths of thousands of innocent people count for nothing.
Bush has done the impossible , he has turned a bad situation under Saddam into a catastrophe for the whole world

France - Chirac's buddies were making a mint in the Oil-for-Food scam, while Iraqis went without food or medicine.
Germany - Unless it's conquering France, they have no interest.
Mexico and Pope - Who cares? I mean, fvck Vicente Fox. And the Pope? Not sure what his deal was.
Anti-terrorism advisor - Isn't that the same Clinton holdover who said Al Qaeda wasn't a threat anymore, right before 9/11? Some expert.
There were over 30 countries who agreed with us, who were part of the coalition. Why do you so casually disregard them?

In most people's opinion the Iraq War does not meet the criteria of a "just war."
The “just war” doctrine requires rigorous consideration to determine if defense by military force is legitimate. Offensive war is never justified. All the following considerations must be true to justify war:
1. The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
2. All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
3. There must be serious prospects of success;
4. The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated.
First the Iraq war is seen by many as offensive not defensive. It was started by the United States of America.
It has been argued the pre-war Iraq:
1. Was no inflicting lasting, grave and certain damage to the United States;
2. Could have been influenced by diplomatic and international sanctions.
It is argued now that:
3. There is not a serious prospect of success;
4. The use of arms has produced evils and disorders greater than the evil eliminated.

France and Germany had a financial interest in Saddam Hussein staying in power. Didn't you know that? Wait, sorry, you do not study history. Even recent history.
Mexico and the Pope did not want to get involved in any war. The Pope wanted peace through reasoning. Nice gesture, but not possible with the people who want to kill all Christians and Jews.
CNN is a liberal press, so they are anti-Iraq war. (Clinton News Network, remember?)
Which anti-terrorist adviser did not agree? Heck, almost all of the democrats agreed to it when it was popular.

Sorry to state the obvious but the war has already happened so why keep harping on about who opposed it, and whether it makes Bush a bad person.
Germany and France are not good references either as they are the two western countries who are helping themselves to Iraq's oil, not the USA.
Lets apply some intelligent debate to how we get the peace right.

France and Russia sold weapons to Saddam and was involved with the oil for food scandal and the Germans built his bunkers. The translated tapes captured in Saddam's palace tell of Russia smuggling weapons of mass destruction to Syria just before the invasion.

Germany and France like to subvert their own UN vote and do business with outlaw nations. The Pope encourages the world to overpopulate and Mexico is a cocaine country.
You like them better?

Lets see: France and Germany opposed the war in order to protect their profitable (and corrupt) business arraignments with Saddam.
How can we have any respect for nations that supported Saddam just because it was profitable?

It's called the rest of the World. Bush is a war criminal as far as I'm concerned and a very dangerous stupid idiot of a man. He even went against the UN in his headlong persuit of war. Hans Blix hadn't even finished his inspection. America should hang its head in abject shame. Jules, Australia
