I don't see it that way, personally.

After all, Bush already had the approval from Congress to go to war.

I think homeland security was more of a factor. People are still running scared after 9-11, and with all the weekly, sometimes almost daily, stories about terrorist bombings around the world. I think Saddam is less directly on peoples minds than felt threats to our daily lives.

Sadly, a lot of people are willing to give up a lot of the freedoms we've fought hard to establish and maintain for nearly 250 years because of fear of a terrorist attack. Which is understandable, but not very logical since people continue to drive, and highway accidents kill many more people each year than all the terrorists attacks around the entire globe all put together.

But living life daily isn't a logical process.

Anyhow, I think having a strong President and congress who are seen to be able to protect us better than the Democrats was more of a factor.
