America never know war on their homeland since the war of independence, at least none with modern weapons. The American were not happy to to the possibility of a war with the Soviet despite the propaganda of the harsh Soviet.

It is easy to support a war when none of your enemy can reach you but when the enemy is near or have a efficient way to attack you either with long range rocket, long range bomber, biological weapons,(I know neither Axis power had the ability) surely that the perspective change.

Just look at Germany, France and Britain, in the period preceding both world war, everyone was seeing the arrival of the war as a small adventure but after that the bomb fell on the cities, especially in ww2, both the German and the French morale ignitially high, collapse in no time. Many successful bacteriological attacks on the United States could had probably cause a negative reaction as disease would spread while the government would focus on the war.

For me, compare the war on terror and a war with countries that pocess deadly weapons in mass is two thing but I understand the idea.
