I think apathy might be a better description, or at least the reason.
Something that popped into my head also:
People from other countries will often state that Americans no little about the rest of the world. This may be true, but how many of these other countries have 50 minicountires in them. Heck how many of our states are larger than most/all of the countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
I, of course, know I'm over simplify and there truly are alot of stupid people in the US, but still I think we are often unfairly given crap.
Last point: About the article, if the author has a problem with "Blame Canada", he problably shouldn't read "A Modest Proposal".
