Maybe it's because I grew up in a conservative area, but most of the people in my area bought the WMD thing hook, line, and sinker. Granted, I don't even think a lot of people needed even that much of an excuse to support going to war. There was a lot of anger after 9/11 and a lot of people who couldn't tell the difference between Iraq and Iran wanted to bomb the middle east and the Dubya administration was more than happy to tap into that anger.
