Ever notice the correlation between undeclared wars and public support? Perhaps if this conflict were actually declared a war, more of the US public would be behind it, not to mention more international support as well. Of course, declaring a "real" war is problematic for the Neocons because our Congress would probably balk at taking the full step. Why? Because the justification is questionable. Same reason we could never get the UN behind us. If the cause/threat were legitimate, I think we'd see public support in the 80% or better range.
