Revolt in the near east

I find it fascinating to read about the people's revolts in Uzbekistan and in other locations which have allied themselves with the Americans. My fascination stems from the fact that the USA was the country that invented the notion of dominoes falling one after the other and referred of course to the theory that the occupation of one country by communists would inevitably lead to the fall of other countries nearby to the same ideology.

Well it seems that the American presence in a country not to mention the American invasion of another country is leading to revolts by the people there against the regimes with whom the Americans are allied.

One by one countries in the American alliance are pulling their troops out of Iraq and no doubt from anywhere else the Americans have sought to establish an influence. One by one the countries which surround these lands are also seeking their independence from the regimes which have a stranglehold of power.

The question remains where will they end up? In an alliance against the Americans or somehow part of their leader's wishful thinking about a Pax Americana.

Let's hope that the world is NOT swallowed up by the American dream.

I cannot conceptualize a world more terrible than one which is infected by kids who wear their baseball caps backwards, baggy pants with tears in them, singing rap music and swigging on Coke or Pepsi while munching on a Burger King creation or the joys of a Dunkin Donut.

Let's have some NON American culture start to permeate the world and let's leave the Golden Arches and their like to the Americans. They really DO believe their own propaganda that they have the best of everything in the world. Let's hope that they stop exporting this to the rest of us.
