My dad met a woman in his class yesterday from Vietnam who, in response to comparisons between Vietnam and Iraq said, "Yeah, but they attacked us first."
When my dad explained to her that Iraq did not, in fact, knock the twin towers over she broke down in tears.
I am having less and less of a problem with disenfranchising large portions of our electorate until they get their facts straight.
