I wonder if other countries make movies about foreigners with thick yankee accents storming into sovereign countries to kill their leaders and take over their countries? I mean, I watched Air Force One the other night (Director: "C'mon people - I want a tense facial expression - terrorists, er, hijackers with unidentifiable accents have just hijacked Air Force One and are threatening the First Lady and Child!") and it occurred to me that, other than the United States, what country is always sending their assassins or troops (I know, I know - there's a difference - the assassins are attached to the government, the troops are just citizens) to other parts of the world in a dramatic and ongoing attempt to take it over and Americanize it?

And I'm not even counting the moon, but, let's face it - Americans make a lot of movies about alien invasions of the United States, too, and yet - they're the only ones I see trying to conquer space. I dunno. Maybe there are a bunch of Martians sitting around on Saturday night yucking it up watching a bunch of earthlings with crazed expressions and thick yankee accents (oh Gawd I hope they aren't lumping the rest of us in with Americans - although I guess we pretty much think of all Martians as little green men...) get picked off one by one by the President of Mars as he (I guess the President of Mars would have to be a he since Martians are all little green men...) wages guerilla warfare from the bowels of Space Ship One to save his First Martian and Child (whatever tthe procreation details are of little green men...) from a bunch of Gawd-fearin' Yankee Spaceists.
