My point is that maybe you should know something about these countries BEFORE your government drops bombs not AFTER. Most Americans think these countries are the worst thing since Hitler, yet they know nothing about them. Why because Bush and Rumsfeld and the rest of the government say so.
It sounds like you're saying you read about them, then in the same sentence you say how does it benefit you, well it benefits you because it opens your eyes to different things in the world, which you apparantly don't want. You might actually learn something, if that interests you.
Maybe the word self centered should have been used instead of ignorant.
I am interested in world politics, you don't want to know what I want to happen in Iraq. I too don't care if other people share my interests, but it is nice to open someones eyes to something they may not have seen before, and maybe help them to see your point of view.
