Is that really any different than any other countries? 80% of Americans supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq when it happened, even though that eventually resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. It was only after the major combat ended and the US continued to take causalities during the insurgency that support dropped.
