"They Don't Play Cricket !!"

Could be the root cause of a lot of problems related to Americans according to a theory.
That could be the reason for their flawed foreign policy which gives birth to and nurtures demons that rebound onto them, for the general hatred the rest of the World has towards their arrogance and self-centeredness and the reason why despite boasting of being a great democracy any democratic opinion that does not coincide with that of the President is considered "unpatriotic" and also the reason why people like Mike Marqusse have left its shores to settle in greener pastures overseas.

Although he goes on to oppose that theory he finds it interesting and so do I. Here he points out another parallel in history:

"The argument echoed historian G.M. Trevelyan’s quip about the French Revolution: “if the French noblesse had been capable of playing cricket with their peasants, their chateaux would never have been burnt.”"
