>>You can't believe the number of people I've spoken to today who have no idea what happened in Spain

Nothing new. If it didn't happen in America or kill Americans, Americans have long been notorious for not caring.

Remember that old headline - Colombian Airliner Crashes - One American Dead.

Some thought things changed after the attacks. Doesn't look like it.

Your point is not without truth; however, I would hold the media a little more responsible than the average citizen. If the average citizen was more informed, they would be able to make judgements and thoughts based on reality.
