The U.S. Model: Shock, Awe and Technology
The world loves American culture. Castro's favorite liquor is Maker's Mark. One of Vladimir Putin's favorite songs is "Blueberry Hill." He has sung it with a piano solo.
In the global stream of consciousness, there was a time when the U.S. was perceived as being well-meaning. Shock, Awe and technology changed all that. My Lai and Abu Ghraib carved a representation of the U.S. into the consciousness of the world.

X. "River of Dreams"
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
