Foreign leaders for Kerry

According to the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) Hans Blix has identified himself as one of those foreign leaders who support a Kerry presidency.

Hans Blix has never made a secret of his opposition to the war in Iraq, but recently the former chief U.N. weapons inspector and Swedish diplomat has dropped all pretense of, well, diplomacy. His frequent public statements are confirming that the Bush Administration was right to suspect that he was so opposed to the war that he'd have given Saddam Hussein the benefit of every doubt and more in order to prevent it.

In an interview published Monday in the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Mr. Blix had the following to say:

Mr. Blix: "I place my trust in the multilateralism of Democratic candidate John Kerry. And in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote."

This makes clear that Kerry support from abroad is clearly among those who opposed invasion of Iraq, many of whom are not only anti-war, but also anti-American. Again I have to wonder how this will play in minds of our enemies.
