Washington's most committed allies in Europe - Britain's Tony Blair, Spain's Jose Maria Aznar and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi - are all swimming against the tide of domestic opinion in order to support Bush, and all have pressed for Washington to seek UN endorsement. Even in the U.S., opinion polls find that a majority of Americans would prefer UN endorsement for a war, and the number of registered voters telling pollsters they'd reelect President...
...splitting their parties as they are for losing elections. Blair has never been much loved by the party faithful; if a war were to go badly, his position would become untenable.

Two days before and 950 km away in Badia Polesine, a remote town of 10,000 in Italy's industrial northeast, Carabinieri paramilitary police raided an abandoned farmhouse after monitoring a group of immigrants suspected of holding illegal weapons. No weapons were found, but sniffer dogs...
...Powell went on to write that the European Union must "act boldly to expand the zone of stability and prosperity" by offering Turkey "a firm date" for starting talks on its accession to the E.U. While some European leaders - notably Tony Blair, Silvio Berlusconi, José María Aznar and Costas Simitis - agreed in principle with Powell's argument, many Europeans thought America's full-court press for Turkey - including phone calls from George W.
