[T]he pollsters asked, “was it absolutely right, somewhat right, somewhat wrong, or absolutely wrong that U.S.-led coalition forces invaded Iraq in Spring 2003?”
What’s the difference between being “somewhat right” and “somewhat wrong”?

I think “somewhat” was used to mean “mostly.” But in the context it’s obviously thatwe’re dealing with shades of meaning. You’re thought is valid though, but I think the phrasing on that question is good, because if you say “somewhat wrong” as opposed to “somewhat right” you’re saying “I don’t like the war, but I can kinda see why we did it.” The flip side, in my mind, would look something like , “I was initially in support of the war, but my support is waning and I wish we would get out asap.”
