A Time/CNN poll cited by the WP showed that three in five Americans (63 percent) believe going into Iraq was the right policy... This from a public, 70% of whom believe Saddam was behind 9-11. Yes, that is the American electorate. It doesn't look good for the hard-left.

This from a public, 70% of whom believe Saddam was behind 9-11. Here is a recent breakdown of that 70%. If you believe "very" or "somewhat" to question #2, it's not such a great leap to #1. Depends on how you define "personally". You can be convicted of a murder even if you weren't the one pulling the trigger.
