66% of Europeans think Iraq War was Unjustified

Meanwhile, a European poll found that two-thirds of Europeans felt the US war on Iraq was unjustified. Even among the publics of US allies, the UK and Spain, a majority condemned the war. Only in Denmark was a majority in favor. (Denmark has the least percentage of Middle Eastern and Muslim immigrants of any country in Europe). Interestingly, the publics of UK and Spain are more afraid of terrorism than the rest of Europe, which tracks with their slightly more favorable view of the Iraq war (though if they think the war did anything to address the problem of al-Qaeda, they are sorely mistaken).
