I'm not seeing a clear age-based grouping within the small groups of people I'm familiar with. Instead, it seems that all the people who were strongly in support of retaliation after 9/11 are strongly in support of the Iraq war (which needs a better name).

I would hazard a guess that, moreso than age, upbringing and environment play a large part in one's political outlook: people raised in a very liberal and laid-back household will most likely grow up to be laid back and liberal. The political alignment of most people will probably change over time, yes, but what doesn't?
