I often find myself shaking my head at the general level of ignorance of people in the USA, and I have to remind myself that they are not culpable individually. They are are not more stupid than people in other parts of the world, although they may be more ignorant and are certainly more arrogant. They are victims of their circumstances. The US media is biased, incompetent, and what they present is incomplete. US consumers have become easily misled because of their blind trust in the "rightness" of their society, and their flawed belief that their government and their media would never lie to them. Sorry, but the US government has mastered the black art of propaganda, and the US media has learned tha waving the flag is more profitable than burning it. And I look at all those poor bastards in Iraq, patriotic, dedicated, motivated, resolute, and I think of lemmings.
Not eveyone can be as smart and elitist as you.
