don't gaslight yourself. invading iraq was mid 70s% approval, higher than I saw for western polls of russians at the beginning of the SMO.

public opinion has zero influence on foreign policy and pretty much never has

Once the invasion was underway, IIRC that number peaked above 90% - clearly many of the people "opposed" to it did not actually have strong objections, too. IMO there was a small minority of Americans who ever truly opposed that war.
