The Blind Leading The Blind

I am simply shocked and appalled by this statistic in the recent issue of Time Magazine...
  • 36%: the percentage of Americans surveyed last year who said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded in 2003.
  • 50%: the percentage of Americans surveyed this year who said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded in 2003.
...wow...I guess these are the same people that think "the jury is still out" on global warming. I wonder where Americans are getting these false ideas from...

this is precisely why we share the dream that all couples dream: to retire to stockholm and design currency for cats and dogs to use.

That is scary. Possibly even scarier, that some polls have said more than 40% of Americans believed that the government was aware of what was going to occur on 9/11 and let it happen. If these 40+% are not any part of the 50% that believe we found WMDs, then over 90% of America is stupid.
