After reading about Nordies concerning Christmas and commenting on the Miracle on 34th Street, this same rhetoric on a larger platform came to mind.
The U. S. society is designed (capitalism) to seek profit. To make sure that is accomplished, it is an all out effort to democratise the world so as to put in place multinational corporations. I would like to add (in that this statement or two is so blunt, some may even say harsh), this country is not without its morals. It has been known to war for these reasons as well, but not without its back drop of democratisation that brings on the corporations which spells profits. After conquering, the U. S. has put such countries in the position where they forever more abide by, go along with, or do what the U. S. says. A case in point, I read a book called, "The Japanese That Could Not Say No." Yes, Japan has become one of the world's richest economies but at what cost. One sells products, not freedom, not self-respect, and certainly not morals.

My wife was telling me about how the new "cheese" picture pose in Japan is the peace sign. I humorously joked that maybe it had something to do with the fact that they don't want enemies - particularly the US. Peace! Please don't bomb us.
Honestly, that is a bit far-fetched, but I do think that once we've "saved" a country, there's a lot of pressure to be the good "child" and agree with us. Kind of sad, really.
