A poll of Britons finds that a majority are pro-American and a plurality (alas) now think the Iraq war was justified, The Guardian reports. A smaller plurality welcomes the Bush visit.

For what it's worth, the full poll results (warning: PDF file) show a very large gender gap -- men welcome the Bush visit by a 51%-30% margin, while women would prefer no visit, 42%-35%. Men think the war was justified, 53%-37%, while women say no, 45%-42%.

But the biggest gap is an age gap. Overall, 43% of Britons welcome the Bush visit and 36% wish he'd stay away -- but people over 65 oppose the visit, 50%-28%. And they think the war was unjustified, 47%-41%, an exact reversal of the figures for Britain overall.

Keep in mind that these are people who were born in 1938 or earlier. They actually lived through a war.
