South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as

Incase you don't follow what she said (neither did I initially...)

She was asked, “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?”

Miss South Carolina answered, “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”

I present you MY analysis of why she said something like this:

Most of the beauty pageants are asked questions about poverty, war, world hunger etc. Now an answer to a question like that would have been "We need to stop war in Iraq, prevent poverty in Asia...blah blah".
A question about maps would have been the last thing she expected.

Here is what your answer should have been Ms S Carolina, "I personally believe that U.S. is the only map available on maps.yahoo.com and maps.google.com and Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps on other countries like South Africa, uh the Iraq and Asian countries so that we can build our future, for us"
