Well, friend, public opinion polls can vary based on who is being asked and when they are asked. During the early stages of the Iraq War, there was a significant amount of support from the public. However, opinions may have shifted over time as events unfolded. Remember, it's important to consider different perspectives and sources when looking at public opinion.

How have wars influenced the general perception of being an American?

A general perception exists that the issue of war against Iraq has opened a massive rift between the United States and Europe. Giant anti-war demonstrations, public opinion polls and the behavior of key powers seem to confirm this view, but the reality is actually much more complicated-and very different. The majority of European governments support the United States on the Iraq issue. Though public opinion certainly opposes war, the European populace also is extremely concerned about Europe's economy, issues of national sovereignty and the effect of French and German power over both. Governments generally have chosen to side with the United States-not because they are suicidal, but because they understand that on election day, the Iraq war will be a side issue and the power of the Franco-German bloc will be a central issue. The United States is much less isolated in relation to Europe than is generally believed.

What was the primary cause for an increase in the public's support for a military invasion of Iraq during the six-month period leading to the start of the war?

There was little support in the UK for the war in Iraq. Thousands protested nationwide and marched into London to illustrate their strength of feelings against the planned invasion of Iraq. Some statistics show that public support is reported to have increased after Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that Iraq has to be invaded as Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) which could be released within forty five minutes and was refusing to surrender them. However these weapons were never discovered and in 2005 a government report was issued to confirm that no WMD had been found.

How is public opinion related to public policy?

In the United States, public opinion plays a significant role in US foreign policies. As an example of this was the war against Saddam Hussein's dictatorship in Iraq. Both major allies in this war, the USA & the UK were convinced that Iraq was a threat to world peace. Public opinion at the time favored military action against Iraq. As an example of another case we have the US participation in the two world wars. The USA entered both world wars late after the wars had begun. In both cases, public opinion was reluctant about entering these wars. Finally as we know the USA had no choice to enter the wars as public opinion began to see the need to do so.
