U.S. adults believe that the following are true about the war in Iraq:

Seventy-two percent believe that the Iraqis are better off now than they were under Saddam Hussein (slightly down from February 2005 when 76 percent said this was true).
Just over half (55%) think history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq (down substantially from 64% in February 2005).
Sixty-four percent say it is true that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda (the same as 64% in February 2005).

1. The propaganda system works well. Chomsky is right about that.

[ThomCat]

4. Absolutely right. That man should be required reading

for all high school students.

2. That's why the far right HAD to allow concentrated media ownership

back when they changed those laws. Concentrated media ownership allowed for the brain washing of much of the US population

[ThomCat]

3. Because our media doesn't cover real news.

They're too busy dancing around the right wing trying to find some imaginary place where they'll be loved and respected without stepping on any powerful toes.

"Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded."

answered yes:
38% October 2004. . . . 36% February 2005 ..... . . 50% july 2006

This is patently ridiculous.

6. One survey in the '70s showed that 72% thought the Bill of Rights

was written by Communists. It was read to them without telling them what it was.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” - H.L. Mencken
