"27 percent of Americans say it is not important for the US to take military action to remove Saddam Hussein from power" scarcely even qualifies as an "undercurrent of concern", let alone vehement opposition. I wouldn't pin much of an argument on poll numbers just yet. It's a little like taking election polls seriously when elections are well distant. I don't mean an invasion is well distant; I don't know. But it's pretty clear the US citizenry are not focused on the war yet. As I've typed earlier, I find some strange mix of anger at the prospects, confusion, apathy, a kind of TV like war (nothing to it, 2 day affair, and I plan to stay home and watch it on TV), and support for its aims. But the only positions that are deeply held are some of the "anger" folk and some of the "support" folk. The rest are looking for lunch.
