Americans consider the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan among the less important problems facing their country - according to a recent opinion poll.

I can not believe people don't know how long we have been at war with Afghanistan ... but that's corporate media job ... to dumb down the public and they are doing a fantastic job.

These individuals don't know in what world they are living. The govt is eating all their tax money on these wars. Nothing else will be there no more, the govt will send into wars until they day.

@zachsocool16

You must like continues news about charlie sheen, lohan, wiener, and someone else who recently got pregnant, instead of the things that actually affect your job, your home, your money, and friends and family. I dont care where info is coming from, so long as it helps the problems and corruption here.

I love how Russian 'fluff' claims that ALL Americans view the wars this way. Classic.

[NiklasKing87]

Don't be fooled everyone has an agenda and all art is propaganda.

RT is no different.
