Unfortunately...
...there's a whole lot of gullible people out there. Think about it...even after Bush admitted to misleading the public about his falacious association of 9/11 with Iraq, the majority of the American public still believe Saddam did it. What does that tell you about the American public? Frankly, there are too many people listening to too many right wing radio talk shows and watching too many right wing television talk shows. We are growing a nation of sound bite idiots who can't think for themselves and discern the difference between fiction and reality.
