Subsequent polls also showed that most Americans:
- Can't find Iraq on a map.
- Don't know what happened in India in 1947 after the British pulled out.
- Read headlines on papers but not the information contained within most of the time.
- Only express concern about the middle east when gas prices rise.
- Don't understand what effects the price of gasoline, but damn sure feel that the president has something to do with it.
- Believe in exorcisms.
- Believe in ghosts.
- Believe in bigfoot.
- Think the summer season is caused because the Earth has moved closer to the sun (believe it or not, the Earth is actually slightly closer on it's elliptical orbit during our winter months).
- Think that your digestive system can be cleansed with mystical liquids and through colonics, and that old foods are still lodged in the colon.
God, I love this country! The one great thing about teaching is that you know you'll always be needed...ignorance and stupidity are fast becoming our largest national commodity, and it ain't going away.

Notwithstanding the relative truthiness of your cited subsequent poll data, the fact is that the cause is lost in Iraq and was wrong to begin with.
