I probably am to some degree, it's true that the average American isn't so great with geography, but that's kind of by design. Our rulers don't want the peons knowing what's actually going on with this giant military their tax dollars are funding.

truth be told, the whole 'americans are ignorant' meme is a sterotype. people educated in other countries can be the same, eg a non-american programmer friend had trouble placing ivory coast. he knew its in africa, but that was it. and the level of 'care' is the same too i believe.
