Danzig,
Your point is well made. If memory serves, was there not an attempt by the Bush administration to connect Iraq with 9-11 and the "war on terror"?
Given the way the war was sold, for many politicians votes in opposition
would have been seen as "unpatriotic".
Do you remember France bashing? Dixie Chicks?
On a side note, I don't think "repair" is currently possible.
