You have left out the solvent qualities of “cell phone culture”.

What some would call American culture.

Admittedly it takes time, so far none has resisted.

Seven years ago I knew nothing about jihad, Sunni, and Shia. Now I’m learning Southern Iraqi tribal politics.

Along with our understanding and support come a little secret. Liquifaction. Funny thing is, the secret of the American secret is that we make people beg for it. No pushing allowed.

Did you know that Gillette now has a Arabian branch selling its Fusion Razor. Not only beg, but pay well for the chance. America seeps into the dreams.
