I aint surprised by that by lack of geographical knowledge. Some Americans can't even locate Iraq ...
On a map of Iraq.

I know how much some of the Americans here hate The Chasers when they do stuff like this, but just relax and laugh along

I ain't surprised to know that some Americans can't do that.
Many people in countless other countries can't do that either.

The Bhutanese and uncontacted tribes of the Amazon sure going to feel dumb when a TV host asks them to locate Iraq on a map.

If your point is that they shouldn't feel dumb, let me just make clear that I think Americans shouldn't be made fun of either. People tend to know (and/or remember) what they need, and I don't think most people need to know where Cambodia, for example, is on the map in their daily life.

Well, most countries don't have 130,000 troops in Cambodia.

Surely freedom wasn't the word you were looking for... tax cuts maybe? no child left behind? wire-tapping practices?

I fully agree. The point I was trying to make is there are plenty of people in the world who legitimately will not know or care where Iraq is.

Some guy "OOH!! Thats in the Middle East where the war is"
