The Americans showed great creativity in business plans, accounting, resumes, launch parties, but very little in the way of business sense.

so why do they make so much money and 'own' the internet then?

Well, you could do a little research on the creation of the internet itself. It was a government project, originally called ARPANET. Also, the widespread use of computers for personal use was an American creation.

As was the marketing drive behind it (see Apples historic "1984" commercial which aired during the superbowl, which kicked off the personal computing craze.)

Also, DOS and Windows, though purchased by Gates cheap and recycled, allowed for common users to operate PCs at home. That's the type of creativity that led to the internet boom.

Just some thoughts.

I believe you need to speak to a man called Anderson about creativity with corporate accounts.

Ha, I thought I was buggered. I've only got to do 10,000 words and have 3.5 weeks. You've made me feel better for that, thanks.

In answer to your question - Don't have a clue (I'm in UWIC afterall)

Create a war, fight it causing much destruction on the way the give the rebuilding contracts to American firms. American economy grows. Then sell the new regime American technology to bring them up to the American ideal.

Always remembering to sell the old regime something that you can later use as a reason to have a go at them.

Of course, that's only slightly more complicated than the British model: Promise freedom from the current regime if the locals revolt, but make sure you lie about it, then partition the region creating a new British colonial area. Take the oil for yourself. Only relinguish control grudgingly and painfully.

Cmon, everybody has skeletons in the closet folks.
