I'm curious what public opion would be if our administration hadn't attempted to lie to us about why we are there (In Iraq...yes, I know, it's not what the thread's about.. but it's my thread.. so there!).

IE: if our "leader" had simply explained that we Americans choose not to conserve resources, and as such we need to pilfer from and take over another sovereign nation to keep our status quo. Honesty. (What a concept). Someone could be FOR or AGAINST this action (...and I think many Americans would "vote" FOR war if it meant they could keep driving their gas guzzlers and practicing opulent lifestyles), but at least we'd know WHAT we were chosing and WHY.
