Most Americans think Saddam had role in September 11 attacks
Seven in 10 Americans continue to believe that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had a role in the 11 September 2001 attacks, even though the Bush administration and congressional investigators say they have no evidence of this.
Democrats and some independent experts say Bush exploited the apparent misconception by implying a link between Saddam and the 11 September 2001 attacks in the months before the war with Iraq.
Americans have more tolerance for war when it is provoked by an attack, particularly one by an all-purpose villain such as Hussein. 'That's why attitudes about the decision to go to war are holding up,' said Andrew Kohut, a pollster who leads the non-partisan Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.
