Replying in the detached abstract of a poll, people tend to often say what they think they should: prefering a leader who takes a strong stand is the "right" answer, as everyone knows from the popular culture all around them. As the matter gets down to cases, though, whether the string stand is agreeable to people becomes more cloudy, and any number of things will be identified as a "strong stand", whatever they might acrually seem to someone else.

Investigation of whether lies were told in persuading the populace to war is a very different thing than claims the country committed a crime in going to war. Unpopular leaders, certainly, are in danger of being viewed as something seperate from the nation itself.
