America: Stupidest people or just plain daft?

You make the call.

From an AP story about GWB's falling approval rating on the Iraq War:
"Iraq was getting out of hand," said Kim Rivers, a 35-year-old Republican who works as a teacher's aide in Champlain, N.Y. "It should have been done a long time ago."

Firstly, where does the AP find these nitwits? And secondly, what is in the drinking water that makes people in the middle of nowhere so ill-informed? I would love to know exactly how Ms. Rivers believes that Iraq was getting out of hand. And maybe she wasn't around in 1989 (though, being 35 years old, one would presume that her memory extends that far back)...but it WAS done a long time ago. Didn't anyone else get that horrible deja vu feeling?
