"The majority of European nations" excludes France, Germany, and Russia, who between them control a plurality of the population compared to those who actively support Bush. Even among those in favor of war, many still require that it be UN-sanctioned. I haven't seen any numbers on the rest of the world, but I would imagine that such nations as China, India, and Pakistan do not support the U.S., between them carrying nearly a majority of the entire world's population. As to the casualty figures, it is true that in '91 the deaths were almost entirely military. That was because the majority of the fighting was done outside of Iraq's urban centers. Both Bush and Saddam have stated that the fighting this time will be street-to-street. That's a lot messier.
