Rofl. Just like the shooter picked on the indians thinking they're arabs. If you're trying to prove that americans have no idea there is a world outside their borders, you're succeeding wonderfully.

Actually, it was the existence of Madras, Oregon that I was unaware of. That's why I assumed the page was about Madras, India.

To be fair, the map you linked to was entirely unhelpful, seeing how it didn't display big bald eagles and a star-spangled banner next to the Ochoco National Forest, the Warm Springs Reservations and Camp Sherman.
Well, and Madras is now Chennai.
