He, like 50-odd percent of the population of 2008 America, is too dumb to recognize that not all change is a good thing.
That's what I was thinking when I saw a poll a week or so ago claiming that a majority of people in the U.S. think that the events in Egypt signal the possibility for a "lasting peace in the Middle East." How can people be so miserably uninformed?

U.S. think that the events in Egypt signal the possibility Depends on how this particular push poll was conducted. Do I think that it's a "possibility"? Sure, just like it's a possibility that I'll hit the lottery this week.
I'm not betting the farm on it, however.
People want confirmation, not information. If they want to BELIEEEEEEEEEEEeeeve that Egypt is better off under (likely) a theocratic dictatorship than a military dictatorship.....then that's what they'll think. And the media, not wanting people to tune out, will keep feeding them that message.
'Tisn't about truth. It's about keeping the story continuous.
