Why Do Americans Support Bush's Foreign Policy?
Do Americans reject the notion that Bush has been mistaken in his foreign policy in the Middle East due to:
1) fear of terror,I am interested in the answers.
2) blind agreement with anything Bush,
3) love of Israel and or hatred of Arabs,
4) ignorance of history and world affairs,
5) apathy,
6) superiority complexes,
7) religious convictions
8) misguided moral righteousness
9) an activist need to feel relevant in foreign affairs or what?

Fear of terror, apathy, and misguided moral righteousness - that sounds about right, to start. Maybe I'd add #4 (ignorance of history and world affairs) because that makes it easier to "catapult the propaganda," as Bush described it. We're seeing this right now in public opinion on Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon.
And when I hear that 50% of Americans now believe Iraq did have WMDs before we invaded (up from 36% last year), well, I really don't know what to think.
