U.K. Poll: Majority Now Favor War Monday, Mar 24, 2003; 2:38 PM

LONDON - The majority of Britons now approve of the U.S.-led war on Iraq, following a large swing as the conflict began last week, a new poll showed Monday.

In the ICM poll, due to be published in the Guardian newspaper Tuesday, 54 percent of Britons said they supported a military campaign to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, compared with 38 percent in a previous March 16 poll.

The number in favor was even lower last month with just 29 percent backing war in mid-February.

Monday's survey confirmed, however, there was still a significant anti-war bloc in Britain, with 30 percent against. But that was down from 44 percent in mid-March.

I can tell you as a brit how it has changed the minds of my friends.

Opinion was split before the war.

No we see OUR boys being shot at, and its time for the nation to buckle down, support our boys and see it through.

As with americans the british have IMMENSE pride in their forces. The strongest feeling amongst people ive talked to though is we need to worry less about civilians as they shoot at us.

And more about hitting them hard, with air support, artillery, anything thats needed.

At last the silent Brit Majority is peaking up. "What's on the tele? Looks like a penguin to me. A penguin...."
