- Is it any WONDER as to why we have the idiots we have in DC?
In the land of the blind, the man with one eye shall be king ... except the guys we have in DC are blind too, they have just CONVINCED the rest of America they they actually have one eye.

- Zzzzzzz.
C'mon, people. The American voter has always responded to every crisis in the same manner, i.e., wait until it becomes unavoidable, and then figure out how to solve it.
Be very, very careful about ripping the American people, lest we fall into the same elitism our enemies have relied upon as they went to repeated and ignominious defeats.

- I'll be the first to admit the snobbery of some towards us Americans, but for cryin' out loud, this is embarassing!
It's not even the geography that is the most troubling aspect of this. It's the blanket question "which country should we invade next?" as if we enjoyed and relished the idea of war.
The appropriate answer is no answer at all -- it's lifeboat ethics. We fight wars because we have to, not because we want to find some country to pick on.
Two points for the guy that said invade France though... Lafayette, our debt will be repaid (thrice)!

- Exactly Art.
I find that 10 times more offensive than the standard geography question.

- It is sad, to be sure.
Although I think we have been conditioned enough from TV to know that when we are asked questions while a camera is running, we should say outlandish stuff.
After all, you don't get on Jay Leno if you actually know the answers to the questions.
