So I guess we're living in Turkey now.

Fascinating (well...'fascinating' seems too plain a word to describe the sort of mass ignorance required for this) poll results from the US...that, eerily, match up all too well with polls taken in the Muslim world of late. From the Scripps poll of Americans (via Seattle PI):

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.

From a recent Pew survey of Muslim countries:

In one of the survey’s most striking findings, majorities in Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan say that they do not believe groups of Arabs carried out the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The percentage of Turks expressing disbelief that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks has increased from 43% in a 2002 Gallup survey to 59% currently. And this attitude is not limited to Muslims in predominantly Muslim countries – 56% of British Muslims say they do not believe Arabs carried out the terror attacks against the U.S., compared with just 17% who do.

To put a positive spin on things...should we take heart that the world is coming together in their beliefs? Just because they're nonsense - and perhaps a vivid example of the dangers associated with the Information Age - shouldn't discourage us, right? Right...?
