America, why must you disappoint me so?
I would of checked "Don't know" mostly because I didn't know. Nor did I think it a big deal we already controlled their airspace in 2/3rds of the country and therefore could halt the Iraqi military movement in 2/3rds of the country with a quickness. Either way we should have learned a good lesson on why you don't vote idiots in to office, sorry Iraq Bush jr. meant to say Iran. Welp~~

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Its not asking what you thought in 2003, its asking what you thought now. I'm pretty sure a poll asked in 2003 would have shown majority support for the true option. Whilst alot of people are cynical about their government, when people like Colin Powell get up and state without hesitationthat Iraq has WMD people believed him. The fact that so many people still think they had WMDs is quite scary.
We must have sources, FMAR. Sampling bias could run rampant (I doubt it), but I'm not going to believe a bunch of statistics because they're precise numbers put on a table in picture form.
Q19, why terrorists attack America, is something that has always confused me. How the largest section of Americans can be so stupid, that is.
It's not just illiterate morons answering a poll, you see that view on every forum that has Americans on it, even ones your average console tard will never visit.

I think the main fault is the media reporting all the crap from 9/11(/2001) and onward about how they hate America, what we stand for, how we live, etc etc and the people who do educate themselves or don't just accept talking points might find out all the cold war action and military support for various third-world nations and a lot of the middle east (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, India, cold-war era Pakistan[isn't it also funny how both Pakistan and India are both supported by us but no one talks about how they're still at each others throats])
This is :USA:
I found the results of the Barack Obama question actually more scary than the rest. Proof that he was born in the USA was published multiple times, yet even some democrats think he wasn't born in the USA.
Likely mainly because the (Fox) media claims that he wasn't. And this is about as simple a question as you get - if the media can push a significant amount of people there towards ignoring / not seeing obvious evidence to the contrary the manipulation possibilities for complex subjects (economics, foreign politics, climate change, etc) are downright scary.
46% said they thought it'd be very likely. Is it just me, or is it insane to think the Iranian gov't would actually use a WMD directly on Israel?Q46: If Iran produces a nuclear weapon, how likely do you think it is that Iran would use its
nuclear weapon against Israel?
Of course Iran would not actually nuke Israel. What would be the point?
Answers to questions 36, 41, 44, 46, all of the obama questions made me lose all hope in the average american.
