Seen as a process of imitation, it becomes understandable why the Westernization of a backward country so often breeds a violent antagonism toward the West. People who become like us do not necessarily love us. The sense of inferiority inherent in the act of imitation breeds resentment.

We could get rid of most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited. ~ Ron Paul
