I have read that 18% of Americans believe that President Bush had prior knowledge of the attacks of 9/11; and that he allowed the attacks to go ahead so he would have an excuse to invade Iraq.

Is that the same percentage as those who have been abducted by aliens?

I think that 18% of any group will say they believe whatever you tell them.
However, I do remember a statistic from a few years ago where something like 18% of French priests (or was it 28%?) said that they do not believe in god.

Spindrift, don't forget that in addition to this 18% who believe that Bush knew there is a fair number of people who believe the Israelis did it.

Isn't this something for the conspiracy thread, Baz?
Though that figure really is scary...

Yes it has been discussed on another thread. However, there are facts that the Clinton Administration late in 2000 did have intel from the FFA warning about possible hijacking, that it was credible info and other intel on Al Queda that somethng might happen and it might involve airplanes, which after the 2000 election they tried to pass on and not one incoming Bush Administration acknowledged the briefing.
So, I would say that 18% is probably too low of a figure. There are many Americans that believe that there was some type of warning and that the Republican Administration so hated the Clintons that they would rather do nothing than acknowledge that they had warnings.
One more thing; this happened on their watch and I continually see that they tried to put the blame on the previous administration, which is hog wash!!!
