Apples and Oranges Mike, you cannot draw a comparison of the opinion of a war today, 7 some years after the fact, to the nature of the country when the decision was made.

 

When the decision to send troops was made, support for the war was a lot higher than it is now. Now you can argue that we should get out, but even then, according to the following site, 32% of Americans feel we need to finish the job, where only 25% think we should get out now.

 

So you might be right that most people do not support the war today, but they did when the decision to go to war was made, now it is irrelevant, we are there, and we have to finish and I think that is what the American people are saying with the following poll, even if they do not like it.

"But the poll should provide some comfort to Mr Bush. While one in four Americans supported an immediate withdrawal, 32% wanted Iraq's security issues resolved before bringing the troops home."
