An addendum:

What the "World" says must be taken with a grain of salt. Much of the criticism comes from a small (but very vocal) portion of the population of various countries. News reports can be deceptive since they always focus on tthe most dramatic scenes such as a few thousand protesters in a city of millions. Following such logic one could say that Bush's policy has no domestic support because ten percent of American do not approve of his actions and there have been some anti-war protests on college campuses.
