Polls on the Iraq al Qaeda connection

33% of American adults, including 27% of Democrats, answered Yes to this CBS News/New York Times Poll question:

Do you think Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?

I am wondering if pollsters went around to people during World War II asking the question, "Do you think Adolf Hiter was personally involved in the December 7th, 1941, attacks on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii?

I don't think that Hussein was personally involved, but there is an obvious connection. After 9/11/2001, we declared war on al-Qaeda, and Hussein had the choice of being with us or against us. He chose to be against us, and refused to obey UN resolutions and cooperate with UN weapons inspections.
