There was always opposition to the US Presidents' "splendid little wars", that is not under dispute. However, when the government wants a war, they get it, and they sell it as a civilising mission.

It ALWAYS goes like this.  The opposition is there, but NEVER succeeds.  This is a constant over the whole US history.
