Re: OT (or is it?): American Imperialism
I'm not Russian. And I'm not necessarily saying something about a "nefarious plot". But I do sometimes notice the over-excessive invasion of Americanism into our lives. A large part of the major expenses we (Europeans) make are either for Japanese or American products, but I don't see Japan invading islamic nations or forcing their way of life onto us.
edit: Oh, and if I reverse Shi'ite and Sunni in my post, well that doesn't matter that much - what I'm saying still holds. The Sunni minority will STILL be looked on with contempt from now on.
And what to think about the "vassal state" Iraq? It's an almost feudal situation. The US can basically do anything they want with the country.
edit 2: International trade? International trade is OK, multinationalism too, but commercial and cultural imperialism isn't.
