I agree...should have, and was in the middle of putting together a similar statement, but had to run to a meeting before I could put my thoughts together.

why waste your time responding? as if it matters....

What do you think is the percentage of Americans who could find Afghanistan (or Iraq for that matter) on a blank world map?

very little-sadly

I'll bet at least 90% of the SoWal, Politics & Current Events posters could!

As much as this has been in the news, do we really have a large percentage of students/adults who couldn't find this on a map? That's baffling.

Not when you compare it to the number of Americans who couldn't fill in a blank map of the US.

Yeah, I could understand if it was Uzbekistan, but Afghanistan? In the news almost everyday since Sept 11, 2001.

Baffling still that they might not know the states either.
