Borowitz: Support for strikes from people who have yet to read a news article about Syria

Andy Borowitz, writing in the New Yorkers, has written a satirical article claiming broad support for the bombings in Syria from people who "have yet to read a news article about Syria."

"In a positive development for the U.S.-led campaign of air strikes in Syria, a new poll indicates strong, broad-based support for the mission among people who have yet to read a news article about Syria."

"According to the poll, released on Tuesday, the bombing campaign got a thumbs-up from people who had no information about Syria’s civil war, including its duration, the parties involved, and what a Sunni is."
