Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.
Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.
Also, it comes however many days after however much atrocity propaganda. If you’d have asked last week, ‘Would Israel be justified in cutting off the water, electricity, medicine, and food of 1 million children because Hamas killed 1500 Israelis?’ The answer would be very different. The people responding aren’t thinking clearly, in part because the question is worded like it is.
