You could do the same thing anywhere in the world, if you were asked 30 questions, being nervous because of being on camera, I guarantee YOU would give at least one, equally ignorant answer, which would be edited and make it onto the brilliant video tape.
Americans are no more stupid than any other race, but for a developed country a large proportion of them are ignorant of the rest of the world. They're generally very nice people, but many think that what they see on TV new is fact, whereas its largely news readers opinion on the facts.
Their country is large, so many don't see the need to travel outside of it. Travel and seeing what is good and bad in other cultures and societies helps you to understand and improve/appreciate your home society.
More Americans should travel, if they did, maybe the US foriegn policy (and their allies the UK (UK is Britain for any Americans reading this)) wouldn't be so messed up.
