"Pundits would hail the dawn of baseball as the dawn of a new era in Afghanistan – the proof of a successful foreign policy, the justification of our actions post 9/11." - I agree with that for sure. Also that is being way too kind to Glenn Beck. Paul, why do you think that American culture has taken a hold in so many places?

I love baseball; I derive so much pleasure from it, that I would love to see a part of the world that has suffered for a long time, embrace it and enjoy it. Don't the Afghanis deserve the same joy I do? But then there is that other side. The strip mall-going, fanny pack-wearing, Big Mac-eating, gas-guzzling, People magazine-reading, culture exporting America that could and may trample all other cultures. And I would hate that. Who knows what we have lost as a world, with America taking over almost all other cultures around the world, with Lee jeans in India, Britney Spears posters in Iraq and McDonald's in Red Square? It is a small world after all. Tough questions, you’re posing here. part of me, like you said, would love to export baseball to Afghanistan.
