First of all, I don't see why you have to automatically jump to conclusions and start judging my country just because of a simple question. Yes, I have taken world history, however I'm not overly fond of it so things just seem to slide off. I'm naturally an arts/music type of person so forgive me but history is just not my thing. It's not that I don't care about what's happening in the rest of the world, it's just that no matter how hard I study, these things just don't make sense in my brain. I forget dates and names of wars and even the country that they happened in, but that doesn't mean I don't try. I asked this question because I actually care this time and I chose this topic for a research project and I actually have a song to go with it so that I might make more sense of what happened. I'm sorry if my question seemed ignorant, but isn't the whole purpose of asking something is to make one less ignorant? Here I am trying to ask a simple question and you people start attacking my country with this stupid stereotype that Americans don't care about the rest of the world. I know that I for one, am not like that and I don't appreciate you categorizing us like that. I find other cultures fascinating and I'm a firm believer in the fact that we all have something to learn from each other if we just take the time to find out. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do.
