Perhaps "lazy" is better than dumb. Or perhaps "disinterested". Use whatever wonderful term you'd like to call it. I think it's very fair to say that a majority of Americans are horribly un/ill-informed when it comes to international events.

No doubt in my mind that a poll of 1 million Americans right now would find more people knowing who the NBA champs are than who the man put in charge of Afghanistan is.

People just don't care. Call it what you want.
Well, when it gets to the point where our nation is collapsing from within as in Iran at the moment and we have a revolution, people will care, or they will just stay inside b/c will and grace is on.....ya never know.
