The Importance of Understanding Americans' Support for Military Intervention
I think in the sense of 9-11 and the lead up to the Iraq war, where the Bush administration was making this very public case based on flawed intelligence. And so I think knowing that context and understanding why people were very supportive of the Iraq war is perfectly understandable. If they felt like there was a perceived threat, or if another 9-11-esque event occurred, would there be more support for military intervention? Let's go get them, you know, kind of thing like in Afghanistan. History would suggest, yeah, they probably would be more in favor in that sense.
