<P>Thanks for the article and book reference, Roger-- I can use this material in my new book. However, just because people overseas don't like us, doesn't mean we aren't wonderful and flawless. What this country needs is a good PR agent, like Mike or Telebob, to sell our "All-American" virtues to the great unwashed.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;This link would, at least if the world were run my way, be required 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;reading 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;for all US citizens.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;It debunks the notion that there is the modern international 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;culture led by the USA versus the wayward backward elements 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;like Islam who will eventually see the light and support our 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;one-big-happy-family world empire. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;For those who want to delve more deeply into the same topic, there 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;is 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;no better and more prescient book, IMO, than "False Dawn" by 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;international 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;economist (and London School of Economics lecturer) John Gray.
