analysis is that, deep down, much of the public were hit in their guts
by 9/11 and, with the failure to get OBL, continued to thirst for
revenge. The attack on the Taliban in Afghanistan was apparently not
enough to quell this thirst, and Saddam was a very inviting substitute.
This is why so many folks jumped to the firm conclusion that Saddam was
"behind 9/11," despite all the rational arguments against this idea that
the peace movement presented. People who are in the grip of this kind of
blood lust pay no attention to such arguments.
It's not blood lust, it's ignorance. Never underestimate the ignorance of the American people. They have no clue. If we attack Iran, they won't kno it is different from Iraq. OBL has been forgotten, btw; he's faded into the past. Bush was told he could count on that, and he was right.
