Oh, you mean like the U.S., and how the Middle East is absorbing our ideas and values.... LOL...

More then you think I live in Turkey and it is funny how the people try and dress and act like Americans now I realize the further down south from Turkey that this isnt the case, for now, it isnt. From McDonalds, Coca-Cola to MTV, American cinema, American clothing, and electronics to name some. American culture is more powerful than you think. You gotta see some of these stupid bitches in the turkish clubs tryin to look like bitches they see on MTV. American culture is very powerful.

Yeah, I know about Turkey, but I'm more specifically referring to some of the Arab countries plus Iran. Plus, pop-culture and food aren't "values".

You asked a question, I answered it.  You asked me if I believed China was destined to rule the world since the beginning of time, I said no.  I don't believe that.

Yeah Arabs are a tough bunch to assimilate.. personally I admire that about them. Most of the world has absorbed many parts of American culture but not the Arabs.
