was right to 'listen to the people' in 2003 concerning the Iraq War?

There was support for it in the polls but that does not mean it was not the right thing to do. Many good Democrats voted against the War and did not 'listen to the people'.

I agree with you that congressional republicans should listen to the people and not do what they think is right.
