I strongly disagree. Most Americans are indifferent and/or oblivious to most government foreign policy. Yes, 9/11 was a big deal in this country, and so most Americans support a "war" on terrorism. But the rest of it is totally off the typical American's radar. I'd venture that a majority of Americans couldn't find Israel on an unlabelled world map. Nor could they articulate US policy for/against Israel. Same with Wikileaks, illegal spying, drones, etc. A majority of Americans don't know anything about those, nor do they support (or oppose) government policies on those issues. I think that HN readership is atypical of "most Americans". IMO.
