In this Popular Science article (6 pages to the right, How to tell USSR about US). Written about the cold war 61 years ago.
Are wars commonly caused by a lack of "samples of the product"...?

I tend to think that the every war Americans have been in directly (Revolutionary War, Civil War, Cold War, Desert Storm, our current 2 wars...basically any war where we as Americans are 'one side'), this same article says it best....
"...we are trying to tell a vital ten percent of the earth's population that our ways of living and working with each other are better people-operations"
Long story short, this comes before any major capitalism, this comes before being a complete 'product' society - we seem to think that telling people to live the way we would, no matter the circumstances - is the right way.
We Americans seem to overlook these people within our own society much easier than that of other nations. Can anyone say, 'Tea Party'? KKK? etc...
Sometimes I wish that people could let differences be differences - and appreciate it for just that.
Why not, live and let live?
Well said, my friend.
