44% say that several 9/11 hijackers were Iraqis

It's interesting how the majority of the American public is so often wrong on details, but somehow manages to be correct on the big picture.

True, the 9/11 hijackers were not Iraqi.  However, Saddam Hussein's Iraq was a sponsor of international terrorism.

Islamic fundamentalism is not the cause of terrorism.  It is a symptom of the problem that leads to terrorism - the dead end hopelessness prevalent in the middle east that is caused largely by regimes like the Hussein regime.

So while snotty intellectual elitists pick away at the American people's lack of mastery over details, they as always miss the big picture, and quibble over details that aren't so important in the grand scheme of things.

Can someone explain why everyone thought this moron was so intelligent?

That's a way to ignore the point that his post was a stupid load of bullsh!t.

So judge the point about dazzleman's post as if anyone else had said it.
