I don't think the majority of Americans bought the DMW bullshit back then either, but the war happened anyways because those in power wanted/let it happen. The people didn't have a say in it.

    I don't know about a majority, but I lived through that as a young adult and I'd believe it if at least 51% of the US population bought the Iraq WMD crap. Colin Powell was a well respected military leader and political moderate and he cashed in all of his influence to sell the lies to Congress and the population.
