I don't like ''the American way" either, BUT you can always say no. You don't have to watch U.S. movies, you don't have to eat hamburgers, you don't have to be in vogue and, most certain of all, they can't change your believes, because you always have a free will to decide for yourself what to do.
And it's unfair to speak ill of the U.S.A. in general. Their politicians and the right wing d i ckheads and other illiterates are the problem.
Many great things came from this country, too many to mention.
BTW I think that you're a right wing d i ckhead illiterate, too

Slow down. You understand little of our (American) culture. To begin, a country like Iran is 1.648 mil square kilometers while the United States is 9.631 mil square kilometers. Iran's population is estimated at under 70 mil and the America is somewhere near 290 mil. It is easy to have more unified opinions in a smaller area with fewer people. Often citizens of other countries assume the dynamic in larger countries to be the same. In the USA, we do not all think the same. Most Americans have no contact with each other. The western USA has it's own way of thinking as does the Sothwest, great plains, Mid-West, Deep South, North East, and so on.
Now that you hopefully understand that the USA is not monolithic in thought, lets talk about your question.
1. The USA does not control Muslim countries. I will admit we are heavily involved in Iraq and Afganistan, but what percentage of the Muslim world do those countries constitute? The USA is not involved in the governmental operations of most Muslim nations. What you wear, eat, or believe is between you, your god, and your government. If you allow yourself to be intimidated, the intimidation will continue.
2. Our movies often represent everyone as idiots. If anything they are equally disrespectful of everyone. It is well accepted by most Americans that our entertainment industry does not portray reality.
3. Gay marriage is a controversial issue in the USA. Some are for it while others are against it. Our laws allow everyone to express his/her opinion even if there are disagreements.
4. As for the Quraan, are you saying the US government changed the name? If Kuwait is that weak...That is between Kuwait and her citizens.
5. George Bush is our president. We respect the office of the president more than the man who holds the office. Bear in mind that in our society, the president is an ordinary citizen. He does not have divine authority nor wisdom. He can make mistakes like everyone else. He can only be the president for a maximum of 8 consecutive years.
6. In our culture, the word "crusade" does not carry the same meaning as it does in the Muslim world. Americans do not have a spiritual connection to the historical crusades like Europe. Our understanding of it, is not in depth for the most part. The word does not have any religious meaning in the USA. It is defined as a quest to do good.
Some of the disputes have arisen over differences in langage. For the overwheliming majority of Americans (90% or more), there is no desire to control your fate or hearts.

Wow, talk about mislead, you have been led way off the road. It is not legal for gays to marry here, but yes, they've been trying to get it legalized, just hasn't actually occurred yet. The US does not tell people how to eat, dress or act. Yes, we are trying to give your kids educations, someone should, you certainly aren't. Maybe if your children are educated, they'll have enough sense not to think God bribes men with sex in heaven to commit mass murder. Just maybe, education is the key. Its much more difficult to convince an educated, intelligent human being of idiotic nonsense, than gullible people who'll believe anything anyone tells them.

As Jesus had stated no person be conscious of whilst the tip will come as properly the daddy, if Jesus had prevalent i do no longer think of He could have advised everyone whilst the tip could come. yet another threat that Jesus could have not be conscious of is using the fact this understanding replaced into previous His human obstacles wherein after He emptied Himself with a view to that understanding had left Him that's why on the time He stated this in basic terms the daddy could have prevalent whilst the tip could come. you do no longer could desire to be a prophet to be conscious of that if North Korea comes to a decision to invade South Korea the US infantrymen published in South Korea would be overran. and because it will be a popular war the US does no longer launch nuclear weapons at North Korea as a results of fact doing so could be without only reason and ought to consequence in a international seize 22 difficulty with different countries.

By 'control' I assume you mean 'give'... they GIVE the countries clothes, food, and education.
They COULD control your fate more then you'd like, as they could blow your coutry off the map.
And, if you want to talk about middle eastern countries in particular, I think they're much more 'controlling' not letting people have many/any personal freedoms.

Not happening. The oil will run out and the west will lose interest in you. If our government can't be interested in renewable energy, the public and private industry will. It has started already.
You may resume fighting each other as to whose shine is more important.

Read Revelation 17 and 18, and see what the end of the beast (USA) and the harlot Babylon (leadership of the USA) is.

Hey, they started it with 9/11/01. If you can't take what you dish out, unstrap the bomb from your baby and stop killing people because of some stupid fable that was invented by a bunch of douche bags hundreds of years ago. The world has evolved. We don't need all of that religious crap anymore. let it go, and let peace prevail. savvy?

You probably aren't american. Anyway, if my countries going to end, it'll go out with a bang, like in an all-out war or something, and it's definitely not going to just wither away like a dead flower.
