A significant proportion of the American public support the war in Iraq even in the absence of WMDs and United Nations support, why?
This confusion on my part is compounded by the fact that following the death of 6,000 innocent civilians on 9/11, the Republican Party saw fit to invade Iraq and kill a further 2,000 or more Americans in the process; this country had nothing to do with 9/11 in the first place. Apparently, for some its also unpatriotic to say that the war is unjust, that killing 2,000 innocent American soldiers is a bad idea. It is a pity that Germany thought the same way during Hitlers reign.
Supporters appear to believe that the invasion of Iraq was due to muslims envying American freedom. Why do they believe this spin? I have spent some time in a muslim area, even though I'm not muslim, and American freedom is not a phrase that is said very often or even cared about.
