    Not in modern America. Americans, for good reason, have a kneejerk negative reaction to the words “war in the middle east”. A war with Iran before November would seal Harris’s fate.

      The rally 'round the flag effect isn’t dependent on people agreeing with what the president is doing.

      Not sure why you would think that…

      The Iraq war gave W. a 20 point boost in his approval rating, it lasted for over half a year.

        But that boost came because people were still feeling the need for revenge for 9/11 three years earlier. Also there was a hell of a lot of fear mongering and out right lies about Iraq that was being reported as facts from all the media at the time. So the American citizens had been primed for war and most wanted it.

          There is always a lot of fear mongering and outright lies about everywhere the US doesn’t like. Congress just passed a $1.6 billion of taxpayer money bill to push anti-China propaganda. I bet you didn’t read about that via, your unbiased media

          Are you paying attention to the media lately? Its filled with outright lies, warmongering, and bloodthirst.

          Just like the lead up to the Iraq war.

        Gee, maybe something happened in the 20 years since then that changed people’s opinions on endless wars in the Middle East.
