Americans can't locate the US in a World Map

Recent polls have shown that a fifth of the Americans can't locate the U.S. in a World Map. Why is this so?

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should -- our education over here in the US should help the US -- or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.
