Hi-

I will join you...I just returned from Istanbul. Everyone was welcoming and 
warm but almost without exception, from bellman to waiter to rug dealer to 
man on the street, everyone was concerned about the impending war.  No one 
was particularly anti-American, but everyone expressed concerns about our 
President and his strategy.  Everyone cautioned me that the current American 
policy would not work...

I live in Bavaria which is probably the most pro-American area of Germany. No 
matter where I am these days, someone approaches me to beg that we not go to 
war- that this war is not right.  

The same experience has repeated itself in Austria, France and other parts of 
Germany...I think many understand that the current regime in Iraq is quite 
problematic, but few support the current American strategy.
