I wouldn't doubt that at all. The US is a cultural trend-setter in
many ways, most of them innovative and interesting but what
has evolved into gangstas is particularly egregious. If you're
talking about "moral guidance" you have to take into account
the effect (cultural, economic, spiritual) one country has on
others by dint of, one vector for example, official foreign policy
and how that OFP has opened doors (by knocking politely or
kicking them in !)
