We inform. You decide.

In response to Anuradha Pandey's column Tuesday, so what? I happen to be one American who knows what's happening in Pakistan, and that's why I support those who don't care. Your generalizations about most Americans being close-minded and careless aside, I'm sorry some of us don't reel in shock after hearing about yet another country plagued by fundamentalist Islamic terrorism.Please stop trying to make us all feel bad because you think you're the only one who is informed about the world. There are others. And please stop berating Americans about their political knowledge by assuming foreigners know our domestic politics better than we do.

As for not caring "to know anything beyond their own noses," perhaps we've got other things to do, such as make time in the day for school, careers and families - things that make life satisfying. I'm sorry all Americans don't believe Pakistani politics are one of those things.
