The 'World' did not elect George W. Bush, nor do I recall the 'World' giving sanction to his war adventures.

An estimated 60 million people 'world'-wide did publicly protest against the imminent war on February 15, 2003. I was one of them. We recognised the sabre-rattling of the administration for what it was; others swallowed all this bluster whole and preach to us now that there was no way of knowing then that the justifications used for war were all untrue (Colin brandishing fake anthrax at the UN, indeed! - reminiscent of the crassly transparent antics of medicine show charlatans).

I am not aware of how many millions marched, 'world'wide, in support of the war.
