The War on Terrorism

The War on Terrorism comics by Joel Andreas were very interesting. I liked how he quoted the main participants of the War on Terrorism. It was also very intriguing that he mentioned other military situations that America has been involved in. Some situations I've never heard of such as the two CIA spies that bombed a civilian Cuban plane. This was a shocking piece of evidence, I never thought that the United States was involved in a civilian killing besides the War on Terrorism. This piece as a whole was very negative, and shed a bad light on American politics and military strategies.

The reading was really interesting, I have never thought of American culture spreading world-wide. It is funny to think that some countries look down upon the American culture actually advertise that famous Americans that have visited their country. It is also interesting that movie tickets like Terminator 2 sold out in other countries besides America. It is neat that cultures are also influenced by our sense of style like the backwards baseball cap. I have always known that if something is dubbed "popular" then it will eventually spread really fast, not only in America but in other countries too.
