Because the U.S. doesn't put a high value on teaching about geography, foreign languages, or cultures outside its borders, since most Americans never travel outside the U.S. (except to visit Canada or Mexico).
Unfortunately.

I dont recall a major push in geography in my school days, really, we just had to know states and continents.
but, i know where it is, i quite enjoy knowing what i am looking at on a map, and what it borders.

Don't ask. Many can't even find their state on a map.

Sadly, our young people are not taking education seriously as we once did. America is lagging behind other developed countries when it comes to education.

Most people in Iraq don't know where it is either. So your point is?
