At what point did Americans become so personally removed from US foreign policy. Obviously during such battles as WWII, there was such a distinct enemy. An obvious, clear-cut enemy that had a face to market itself. Everyone was united in the effort to put that enemy to bed.
Now, if you ask 10 people why we're at war with Iraq, you'll get at least 8 different answers. I'm willing to estimate it goes back as far as Vietnam, but who knows. This extent of lack of public involvement is probably a newer phenomena. More research on this to come... possibly.

when it comes to knowledge of their government and its policies the American people would barely pass with a D. Tis sad.
