One of the more interesting things I've learned at my new job: in Iraq,
a company is now marketing "Mecca-Cola", an Islamic alternative cola,
and using this as a support of anti-American sentiment.  I find quite
interesting the adopting of American methods (cola, advertising, etc.)
to fight back nonviolently against Westernization.  Tbhe founder has
stated "If George Bush stops his soldiers killing people, then I'll
stop selling our soda."

Which seems like the sort of thing that some kid war protester would
bring back with him.

Mr. Teapot
the choice of the Islamic generation
