Pretty funny passage from the LA Times article linked above:

Still, much of Sanders’ faith in the administration’s case rests on his belief that Bush must have the evidence or he would not risk “making the biggest mistake of his life. If this is just a sham, if we went in there and there wasn’t anything, then he would be finished, he would not even run for a second term,” Sanders said.

Why would the WWII generation oppose the Iraq War more than later generations?

When you've experienced war as something more than a video game or television report you tend to be sceptical of war drums. They weren't unwilling, just unconvinced that Bush had laid out sufficient justification for going to war with Iraq.
