Freaking Myself Out

[gfish]

This is technically analysis, but far too silly to post to midint.

Recently a poll was released which indicated that 1/3 of Americans believe that we have found WMDs in Iraq, and a bit under 1/4 believe that the Iraqis used WMDs during the war. This poll got suspiciously little coverage and I really should have posted about it before.

Today I was pondering these results while doing dishes, and I realized something rather disturbing. To think that WMDs have been found or were used puts you in an fundamentally different reality than the one I live in. There is just no way to reconcile my reality with one were any sane, minimally informed person could believe such things. It would take an active effort to phase-shift into this alternate reality. A reality completely shaped by the desires of suits, shadowy figures who want to use the people in their thrall to increase their own power. In short, 1/3 of America took the blue pill. They woke up in their bed and believed whatever they wanted to believe.

No no, weapons just for destroying that state.

Since it's still there, they were clearly not used...
