Geographically Illiterate

Apparently young Americans are geogrpahically illiterate, specifically world geography. Many couldn't point to Iraq or Indonesia on a map or detail which country had a major earthquake in October 2005 (Pakistan). Geography, as this survey demands, must be more thoroughly taught in elementary and highschools.

Yikes! Not knowing the location of your home state?? We're not asking for cartographers....
