Interesting notion, but I think it is a little apples and oranges in that a suicide bombing here and there is not an all our preemptive war a la Iraq. In other words, as I said before, if Iraq had gone well after the invasion, I think 90% of the people against Iraq now would be for it regardless of the correctness of the invasion. In other words, if we had been successfula t rehabilitating Iraq, then like 90% of the US would likely vote that removing SH was a good enough cause regardless of the trumped up reasons to promote the argument of exigency. I cannot really fault them for this logic because SH was a horrible person who sponsored terrorism, though not nearly to the degree we were lead to believe. Conversely, a suicide bombing likely could not have that large an effect.
