In March of 2003, on the eve of the invasion, as many as 76 percent of Americans supported the war

Wars are usually very popular, and actually quite fun - before the shooting starts.

The author of this article is delusional. He downplays the war propaganda effort in a big way.

It is not like the dangers of invading Iraq were unforeseeable. French President Jacques Chirac refused to get involved. Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders denounced the war from the start. Anyone who claims to have been misled in 2003 is under pressure to explain why they were less discerning than those two.

This dope must be joking. Nobody with half a brain would take Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders seriously about anything -- even when they're right. And I suspect most Americans don't pay attention to foreign leaders when it comes to evaluating our own interests.

Very true and even tag line worthy.
