Tripoli is in Lybia on the coast. US vs Barbary States was our first war outside of US soil since Independence.

I asked US people because it's in the Marine Hymn, and I had doubts that people even knew where the "shores of Tripoli" were.

I mean, come on, if people (outside of the psych experiment and study on authority and group consensus) can point to Australia and say "Iraq", then Mexico is a legitimate question.......

The rest were good.

Agian, Im not american, so I dont know that much US history.

Mexico is just south of the US, there. Given that I answered almost every question in each quiz right, its obvious I know were mexico is.

Never said you didn't........

If people can mistake Aussi Land for Iraq, then I wondered if they could not know where Mexico is. THAT was what I questioned. My own little experiment/study

ask a iraq vet i bet thay know.

I wonder what the ratio between anti and pro war people would be for how many got it right.......

God, I can just see the arguments now:

pro war people get it wrong because they are war-mongerers and just want to kill things.

anti war people got it wrong because they don't realize how much of a threat Iraq poses.

etc etc et cetera.......

yay, and its almost the right shape

Now a servey of Americans showed that 20% of them said it was somewhere in the Middle East, 30% said they had no idea where it was but it had something to do with oil, and the other 50% said it was somewhere in Middle Earth, near Mordor. lol

Yeah I saw a clip of that show.
Americans cant even point out their own country on a map, nevermind a different one. Wasn't it 2 out of 5 people in Americans that thought the sun revolved around the earth?

Its times like this that we need a trusty edit button.
