Since World War 2 Germany have been against most wars... they saw their country almost destoryed from the effects of war, thats why there is a big anti war feeling in Germany... also German politics is mostly internal, so when they talk about not supporting a war with iraq, then they are thinking more about getting votes in Germany, then about Iraq.

France has some interest in Iraq oil, and like in Germany they are thinking more about getting votes, then Iraq.

Also one of the other things is that there are alot of muslims in whole of Europe. These people are usual refugees from wars around the world, however in the last 10 years alot of the people comming to Europe have not been refugees from war, but from bad economy. This has made the cost from taking care of refugees sky rocket, which again have ment social unrest in many big cities.

Now - there are alot of people in Europe which do not understand why Iraq should be attacked, however there also alot of people supporting a war in Iraq.

The USA do have alot more friends in Europe, then Iraq have, so I wouldn´t worry about Europe´s vote... (just watch the 8 countries giving their support today - more will join them official after UN meeting next week). Germany and France are 2 big countries in Europe, but they do not speak for every European country.
