I think it is a shame more Americans don't pay more attention to what's going on in other parts of the world. However most cultures are ethnocentric and what happens at "home" is more relavent to most people versus what happens elsewhere. People in Islamic countries are continually killing each other (we get tired of hearing about it), and not to start another arguement but Islam isn't exactly a peaceful religion. We should be paying more attention to what happens elsewhere because the causes of the violence and death elsewhere are spreading and the results will follow. Unless America wakes up soon to what is happening to places all over the world it will be happening here more often.
