Right or wrong, that is a long history of attacking someone. Then, after 9/11, the attitude was America could no longer afford to put up with SH's BS. I think that is why W was able to sell the Iraq War so easily - that and Americans in general could care a less how many Muslims die as long as we do not get attacked again.
Note - none of the foregoing should be contrued as me justifying W's decision to rush to war. I am not saying that. I was just pointing out the historical context of Iraq.
