In today's Financial Times: World overwhelmingly opposed to war even in countries supporting the US: Italy and Spain 81%, Russia 87%, Turkey 86%, UK 61% are opposed. "Military power alone will never be enough to guarantee America's security. Without the friendship, respect and support of its allies, it will ever be vulnerable.. We are back to the world in which right is measured only by might. Frightening." Finally, "Paris has been made the scapegoat for US and British diplomatic failure. This risks leaving the west with deep and lasting divisions. France must resist the dangerous drift to react to american 'francophobia', and not resort to tit-for-tat anti-Americanism and anglophobia."
