Here in the Netherlands, the most "Sensational" and populistic (and rightwing, though they don't seem to support the war) newspaper had a huge picture on the front cover of the newspaper with angry Iraqi citizens who, according to the subscript, "were crying out in helpless frustration after a US bomb accidently hit the market and killed 15 people" (roughly giving an impression now, I don't have that newspaper here myself but read the front page at the local cafeteria, where I was hunting for ice-cream
). Just to give an impression. But that's most likely the most extreme way this news was presented in our country by any of the national newspapers.
