Previous Entry | Main | Next Entry January 30, 2003 Visual Support? Curious what a map of those countries opposing and supporting the war looks like? Well, wonder no more. UPDATE: A few Irish commenters are upset that Ireland is painted in totally.There should have been a demarcation of the North. I regret the error. After all, I am Irish by ancestry as well. Call it wishful thinking, ok? Posted by Sean-Paul @ 01/30/2003 11:19 PM | TrackBackComments: So much for "unilateralism"...or is that "unilateralisme"? Posted by: Mark Harden on January 31, 2003 08:58 AMGreat work! Well done! Posted by: Tacitus on January 31, 2003 09:10 AMI've been waiting for this to be done by someone. Great job. One nitpick: I note that Ireland is listed as "neutral". Have you seen the InstaGuy's link to Sjostrom on the Irish yet?

Posted by: Allen Bryan on January 31, 2003 09:55 AMInteresting that Montenegro is shown as a seperate country supporting the war, while Serbia is neutral. Not that I'm criticizing this, as it IS de facto independent. And yeah, I think the Irish will break from their neutrality, too, as will the Finns, probably. Posted by: David Jaroslav on January 31, 2003 10:10 AMGermany's practically alone. . . I would imagine that public opinion in each of these countries would make the map look different, but it's governments that decide. Posted by: terry on January 31, 2003 10:32 AMPlease change the color Ireland to GREEN. Why did you color the entire island yellow or should Northern Ireland be green too? I can nott wait to show mum. Posted by: Bob on January 31, 2003 11:34 AMIt would have been easier to show a map of the support for the war by the population rather than their anti-democratic governments. You'd only need one colour for it. Britain is 84% against the war and 9% for it for example. But the Fourth Reich is opposed to democracy of course. Posted by: DavidByron on January 31, 2003 07:42 PMThis post has been duly linked on my blog, listing all the countries by name and closing with the following comment: "Maybe instead of expanding NATO the US should join a reinstated Warsaw Pact (minus Russia and Belarus)." I'm sure I'd be popular at the embassy parties :-) Posted by: Alan K. Henderson on February 1, 2003 04:57 AMInteresting map, but it would mean more if you said something about your sources and definitions. For one thing, I hear that in the countries "supporting" the war, there's often a wide gap between public opinion and the policy of the currently ruling party. That's true even in Britain, where Tony Blair is Bush's strongest supporter but has little support from his own people. Posted by: Prentiss Riddle on February 3, 2003 12:45 PMIs it significant that Socrates is getting ready to kill himself in your graphic? Don't get me wrong, though. J. s.
