I think that many people...if not most people...do not care about events that do not personally or directly affect them. As for war...the U.S. has not fought in a war since the Congress declared war in the Second World War. Only the Congress can declare war and the declaration of war has legal ramifications.
The media...the Government and even the military has used the term "War" when in fact we have been engaged in "armed conflicts"...and most recently we have been engaged in attempted "nation building".
