    As for who has the RIGHT to call for this intervention, I think it has to be the local nationals themselves. Or at least actual organizations such as the UN. But the media and ignorant masses of another nation? Come on.

    I don't see the need of a media company intervention in the lives of people. Just report the news, why impose your moral views on the issue? It just leads me to think that your news might not be as impartial as you claim it to be. CNN being CNN (Cirno News Network), this is not as surprisingly as it seems. UN is as useless an organization as you can get from an inperfect group of countries attempting to appear to work together.

    I've heard too many people use this excuse for being racist. For some reason, racism is looked down upon in the most fell manner, but when the Second World War is involved, peole suddenly get compassionate.

    I understand that to our generation, that might seem a tad racist/shallow but after all the stuff they've been through, who can blame them? Not everyone can forgive the mass murderer/psycho killer etc and the same should apply for those war victims who suffered directly or indirectly as a result of the war.

    Cultural imperialism, IMHO, is not overused as its a very stark fact of the real world where military imperialism and other more obvious economic domination of the other regional blocs are negated due to close interlinked ties as well as its far-reaching consequences. As a result, many countries are leveraging on their cultural strengths as a form of soft power in the global sphere to increase their influence. You have seen that with US over the past few years especially during the Cold War era. Increasingly though, more and more countries are emerging to 'combat' that influence and what you get is a 'clash' of the culture like what happens frequently between diametrically opposite cultures like Japan and the USA.

    I agree with the part about people making up decisions/opinions and then finding scraps of evidence to back themselves up. It pisses me off to no end when someone doesn't have an opinion on something which affects or influence them and what's worse is that they have an opinion but its thoroughly made up of bullshit and stuff that people said but without any scientific grounding or shred of truth.

    BTW, at the end, why are you quoting yourself? ^_^

    People aren't always responding to the person directly above them when they don't quote.

    Nono, I mean, I don't know what cultural imperialism is, so I was wondering whether I had used the concept in my post.
