JR, last poll I saw on CNN showed that 50%+ of americans thought that the attack on Saddam was related to 9/11 and the war on terror. The administration itself has said that over and over again. They created a phantom dot and connected it to other "facts" to make a reason to go to war immediately, not in due course.
I don't think americans are dumb, but I think that the politicos are VERY good at manipulating public opinion and creating misinformation to get the public on side.
It's sort of like quoting someone, and dropping out a few words from the start or end of the sentence to make it sound very different.
