So, Why DID Americans accept the Iraq invasion even though they knew there were no WMD's?

It's a bit late, it's normal and traditional for the USA now, of course.
Do you understand this history?

Once again - Iraq had an obligation to allow weapons inspectors in. It refused. Hence the use of force under then-existing UN resolutions.

Saddam Hussein was irrational. He was like the convicted felon on parole refusing to let his parole officer inside his apartment to make sure he didn't have a weapon stashed somewhere inside even though the felon may have disposed on the weapon. The felon STILL has an obligation to let the parole officer in - and if he still refuses he can expect the door to be broken down.
@beckyromero Iraq didn't refuse. Hanz glitz - we lied and people died.
