    Australia is the country most in favour of military action against Iraq, an
    international poll of 39 countries has found.

    The Gallup International survey, released today, found 68 per cent of
    Australians backed military action against Iraq, with 56 per cent in favour
    only if the United Nations supported it.

    Only 12 per cent of Australians supported unilateral action by the United
    States and its allies.

    Some 27 per cent of Australian respondents said they would not support war
    under any circumstances - five per cent didn't know.

    In Australia, levels of support for war outstripped even the US, where the
    poll showed 67 per cent supported military action.

    However, 33 per cent of Americans supported unilateral action, with 34 per
    cent backing a UN-sanctioned war.

    Some 21 per cent of Americans said they would not support war under any
    circumstances and 12 per cent didn't know.
