Yes, really. A majority of Brits supported the invasion.
Many wars, maybe even all wars, are built on lies. especially wars instigated by the west.
The recent USA wars were built on lies, Vietnam (concern over the spread of communism), Iraq (WMD) and Afghanistan (Terrorism)
Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan supported the Osama Bin Laden terrorist. In fact Iraq (Saddam Hussein) was diametrically opposed to Bin Laden, and Afghanistan offered to kick Bin Laden out of the country.
I've also suggested that the current 'war' against Palestinians was as much instigated, as allowed to happen, by the Israeli right-wing Zionist dominated government, (for the obvious reason of eradicating Palestine.)
The West has concentrated on the Israeli hostages held by Hamas, but the Israelis have held thousands of Palestinians hostages for decades, (the reason for Hamas taking Israeli hostages).
Indeed, the motivation for the Bin Laden 9/11 attack 20 years ago was motivated by the US support for the Israeli killing, imprisonment and subjugation of Palestinians.
This was publicised as a war on terror. The real reason for 9/11 was never allowed to surface in the general media.
We know why 9/11 ocurred because Bin LAden told us.
An extract from his letter:
Would revealing bin Laden’s motive have avoided two American wars?
