Reply #22: Actually, US support for the invasion was enormous [View All]

[Voltaire99]

A minority of us opposed it; an even smaller number of us marched.

But as poll after poll showed, nearly three quarters of Americans backed the invasion. Oh, sure, some finesse of the numbers is required: most wanted a fig leaf from the UN before "our boys" set to the slaughter.

We can attribute the popularity of the war to official lies, media manipulation, post-911 fear and desire for revenge. But that's for another debate. The bottom line here is that the war-favoring US public had *everything* to do with the invasion.
