Because as far as most Americans are concerned the rest of the world doesn't matter, so what would be the point in learning about it?

I agree with you to a certain extent. Why do you think many Americans could care less about what is going on in say East Timor? Why is it that Americans are more interested in their taxes and US news than events in Zimbabwe?
For that matter, why do many non-Americans seem more interested in the politics of the US than their own countries? Why does Joe Average post about US politics all the time but hardly ever about Australian politics?
From the content of your posts you seem to care about American politics and not Australian in about the same ratio as most Americans.
