In america, democracy and decent foreign relations with neighboring countries prevents terrorism from becoming an everyday thing. Because terrorism is not very prominent in America the people tend to be ignorant about terrorism in other countries. I'll admit that americans are ignorant about foreign terrorism. Their ignorant about the major crops harvested in Estonia as well. We'd just be informed observers which, in the grander scheme of things, means absolutely nothing.
Arrogance has nothing to do with it.
As for your statement that people in the US can't even draw a map of Europe, I'm curious as to where you recieve your information. It's really easy to criticize, it's a little more difficult to say something meaning- ful. By the way, I was in another message room and some idiot used your post as evidence that Americans are generally stupid and arrogant.
