I saw this and was appalled at the responses. The people polled were 18 to 24 and many could not even tell you where Saudi Arabia or Iraq was. It really makes you question what children & teenagers studied in school. With the massive press coverage of many of these sites, I would think it safe to assume that they could at least be able to find one of these countries or even states in the United States.
