I lay that on the deliberate policy of the Bushies to conflate 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. Most of America thought Saddam had something to do with 9/11. Most recently we saw that in "Game Change", where we learned even Sarah Palin, when she became McCain's running mate, believed that Saddam Hussein had ordered 9/11.

>>Polls were of course all over the place just before the war - but generally a case can be made that they all supported invasion. As one against the Iraq war from the start - that's how I remember it. There just was just not much support for doing nothing.<< One of the things that drove me so crazy during the run-up to the Iraq invasion was how often people would say "doing nothing is not an option." NOBODY suggested doing nothing. That was a straw man argument. But that water is not only under the bridge, but already out to sea now, being polluted by leaking gas and oil.
