Historically, any prime minister or president who has politcally been in a weak position has got a slight "boost" in ratings if he or she has gone to war. I think the theory goes that we, as a population, feel they have somehow made us safe.
I know, I don't understand it either.
It could also be that when nothing happens, they can say that their warnings worked...
