Most don't know. I've always thought they edited those things, but apparently they don't have to. In the middle of the Iraq war I saw a reporter asking people at random to point out Iraq on a globe with national outlines. Not one of them could do it. It doesn't take much to figure out how some idiots get elected. They just feelgood and sound good, and believe in God Almighty. That's all it takes.
