Even today, more than four years into the war in Iraq, as many as four in ten Americans (41 percent) still believe Saddam Hussein's regime was directly involved in financing, planning or carrying out the terrorist attacks on 9/11, even though no evidence has surfaced to support a connection. A majority of Americans were similarly unable to pick Saudi Arabia in a multiple-choice question about the country where most of the 9/11 hijackers were born. Just 43 percent got it right -- and a full 20 percent thought most came from Iraq.Bush's approval rating hovers in the high 20's. If American's weren't so fucking stupid, it would be much lower.
But then idiots like Doug think all Muslims are the same.. hell bent on our destruction, so it really doesn't matter where the hijackers were born.
Still, it's incredibly distressing that so many Americans are completely misinformed about the worst terrorist attack in this nation's history, and completely ignorant about the specifics surrounding our country being "at war". I really do have a lot of disdain for many Americans who are too lazy and/or too stupid to be well informed.
