      I don’t know how true this still holds but two years after 9/11 70% of the US thought Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11. My guess is that number continues to be higher than 30%.

      @salacious_coaster I believe that the root cause of the critically important problem that you are highlighting, is the widespread idea that “faith” – that is, belief without evidence – is a virtue.

      It is not.
