Depends on how you define "most". Most of Americans polled? Most of Americans who weren't so busy screaming their heads off about what a bad idea declaring war was they didn't have time to give George W. Two Thumbs Up?
No. I don't think "most" of Americans supported the Iraq war. I think "most" of the people the spin doctors deigned to talk to might have. But that's entirely different.
I'm only culpable for this war- or any other atrocities committed by those who think they're my government- inasmuch as I maybe haven't done enough to let them know how pissed off I am about it all. Which I am.
To me, your response about the difference between military violence versus "terrorist" violence shows me that you operate in a completely different paradigm than I do- the one that says that just because violence is state-sponsored that its okay, or somehow more okay than other violence. I can't wrap my head around that one at all.
