In many parts of the world country dwellers are likely to be more conservative - though that can mean all kinds of things, the central one beig distrustful of innovation, rather than the belief thta the free market can solve everything and that big money is to be trusted - but that doesn't mean gullible. The idea that people in rural areas in a place like the USA these days have fewer sources of reliable information than towndwellers strikes me as very questionable.

Anyone who believes those three things - that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, that Iraq had anything to do with September 11, or that there is widespread support for the invasion of Iraq around the world is either extremely gullible, and I would suspect wilfully so.
