It comes from one of the Founding Fathers who was describing a wise foreign policy, don't go around looking for enemies or they might follow you home (the last part is my contribution).
One of the things I do admire in Americans is that they keep their Founding Fathers in such high regards
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin

It's the Americans that DO vote that scare me...
Get a thicker skin then.

Uhmm, It seems many Italians don't know where Sweden or Afghanistan are... and not many knows about El Nino (me too)
But on the overall I think Italians didn't score too bad... Much better than some of the others polled. Although those Swedes were impressive, they were almost always in first or second place.
I got 19/20 (didn't know what El Nino is)

Giovanni, long time no see. How are you?
wow... someone remembers me
Not too bad, i just finished the so called "maturity exams" which are the final exams in the Italian school before starting Uni.
I think I never studied so much in my whole life than in this two months

They're called maturity exams here as well.
And I know what you mean. I felt the same way a year ago.
Then I got to the university.

The point is that because the US population is so ignorant about the goings on in the real world at large, the US government is better able to scare the 'herd' into supporting its actions on its war on terror such as invading Iraq when it didn't even pose a threat to the US OR have any links with Al Qaeda - after all that 42% who didn't know where Al Qaeda came from probably thought they were from Iraq and were more than happy to 'get Saddam back for 9/11'...Originally posted by Berzerker
Hey guys, what incentive do people anywhere have to learn about someone or something half way around the world? You seem to think knowing this stuff matters...
People fear the unknown - ignorance is the unknown - ignorant people can be easily manipulated, which is dangerous when these same people make up a sizeable part of the World's most powerful country!Comment

20/20... terriblly shameful on the ignorance of the world as a whole. The US was consistently one of the worst
...
The only questions i found kinda tricky were the largest religion one and the el nino one. I knew both of these, but i know these arent nearly as obvious as "find the friggin pacific ocean on the map..."
At first i was shocked at the number of americans that failed to find mexico on the map, but this shock was equaled by the number of euros that couldnt find italy, or Sweden on the map... tho the US has it's share of ignorance, it is a worldwide problem"I bet Ikarus eats his own spunk..."
