It was Americans in that survey that they asked to find specific states.. and they couldn't. I'm quite sure that the people in Iraq could find different locations within their own country just fine.
the CIA does not believe that's comparing apples to oranges. What is a city(state) anyway????

Did it ever cross your mind that some people might not have taken this surver very seriously?
