Does anybody knows if MacDonald's and Coke are in Iran? Do you know why is this question relevant?
According to a recent study (I am sorry, I really don't remember which one, but believe me, it is from a respectable institution), the US never started a war against a country that actually drinks Coke and eats MacDonald's! It is as simple as so! And it tells how strong cultural proximity is in terms of global politics - countries that are culturally closer are less prone to engage in wars against each other. Thus, the US cultural strength (MacDonald's, Coke, Hollywood, ...) is a strong war deterrent - and an influence to align other countries with US politics!
So, seeing Iran forcefully cutting symbols of US culture may not be a good sign for peace in the Middle East - and oil prices...
