what they all know
now is that the american people are so fundamentally uneducated about the history, philosophy, religion, and division of the middle east that they need not worry about the veracity of what they say.
most americans can't even distinguish between protestant and catholic much less sunni and shiite. the idea that some of us might be horrified that a potential future leader of the "free world" could be so moronically wrong about a "foreign religion" is absurd.
we aren't smart enough to deserve smart leaders. we are getting exactly what we asked for - morons who make us feel better about ourselves. sooner or later the rest of the world is going to get tired of our shit and make us take it.
