Again, at the federal level is where foreign relations are dealt with in America. If the general public doesn't pay much attention to other countries, it's largely by design. They just have little effect on day-to-day life. As I said, when there's actually a country with enough strength to affect Americans in general, they will pay attention. But until then, it's pretty much a hobby for people, or the domain of people who deal with international business.

Good gawd, almighty... you could not have said anything more ignorant given that there is a drive toward a market driven, global economy. My *state* depends on foreign trade for it's survival. Apples, timber, even the geoducks are economic resources dependent on foreign trade. This is NOT a hobby.
