It is true that the majority of Americans are misinformed about Middle East specifics. To be blunt, "all them Arabs look the same to me" is what it comes down to.
It will be a grave mistake for the Democratic party to grind this point in. People do not like to be told they are ignorant. Ignorance is generally a willful act, unfortunately.
I also think it will be a mistake for the Democratic party to base any portion of their campaign on debasing Bush and his handling of foreign affairs. The Democratic party needs to shift the focus onto what is really important right now, but everyone has lost sight of -- our growing economic concerns, our failing social security and health coverage, and civil liberties that are rapidly sliding down the slippery slope of so-called Homeland Security.
