Most people on Earth, and most Americans, knew the invasion was bullshit. Despite enormous demonstrations across the world and the U.S., they did it anyway. Because they felt like it, and arrogantly thought they could reshape the Mideast in their own image. It was an historic example of warmongering; literally, mongering- trying to sell a war.
