It goes deeper than short memory and only the Bush machine. Bush is only taking unfair advantages of a much large and loner term effort. For the Americans the WWII has not yet stopped, so also the fight against an illusive communism.
It is a part of the general picture of keeping the Americans happy in their belive about heroism and the "good purposes", it is a part of empire building. It is not new, the Greeks and Romans understood this well, with the gladiator games. They keep us, the public, entertained and controllable. The motives and the gains are obscure with smoke screen of higher moral values.
AH understood this and voiced many times an envy over the American skills. He built his propaganda apparatus with US as the model, he was especially impressed by the Hollywood part of it.

I think this poll shows how the short term memory of Americans is totally lacking. Also it shows
how effective the propaganda machine of BushCo is. In a word, terrorfying.
Peace, D. Mindock P.S. We have met the enemy and he is us.
