Americans are against the Iraq war due to lack of fortitude

Overview
There have been repeated claims that flagging support within the 🇺🇸 for the ongoing occupation of Iraq, usually referred to as the "Iraq War", is due largely or entirely to a lack of fortitude (determination, resoluteness) on the part of the American people.

Conclusions

 * 1) This is at best a misrepresentation, taking what may be a small but significant component of anti-war sentiment and presenting it as the major or sole reason
 * 2) The main reasons Americans are against the war seem to be mostly the same reasons the Iraq war is unpopular globally, i.e.:
 * 3) * Americans were persuaded to support it originally on false pretenses
 * 4) * It has been poorly orchestrated at the topmost levels
 * 5) * It has dramatically harmed the cause of democracy and America's image worldwide
 * 6) * It has led to less safety and increased terrorism worldwide
