How is this not true. Many Republicans like Sarah Palin because she didn’t have a passport. We tend to reject anything that is foreign. I usually don’t agree with Chomsky, but I think in this case he is close to the truth. Unless we invade a foreign country, must Americans couldn’t find it on a map.
Most nations are insular or have their insular elements. People in Europe live right next to other nation states so its impossible not to notice “other countries.” We’re in between Canada and Mexico. What about Russia? What about China? Is China not an insular country? What about Japan? No, instead it’s always OOGA BOOGA AMERICA!
