This is amazing:

ABCNEWS.com : Doubts Drag Bush Back Down to Earth

If you didn't have patience to read the whole thing, I'll tell you which is the amazing part. At one point this article from America's ABC News says that "especially since two-thirds see the war in Iraq as part of the war on terrorism". They are talking about the American participants to its poll.

So, this is clear proof that even the citizens of the self-proclaimed "leader of the civilized world" can get it so wrong. There has never been proof that the Iraqi regime supported terrorist groups, so how can this well extended belief be explained? I think it can only be thanks to the low level of education of the listener combined with the sneaky language used by its leaders: the constant use of the words "Iraq" and "terrorism" close together within the same sentence.
