If nothing else, check out the recounting of the Indonesian puppet story, a fabulous insight into another perspective on our global influence.

The frustrating part about reading this confession, is that the author took soooooo long to let his conscience take control. He participated in the system as long as they would pay him. By the time he wrote this tell-all, he had nothing to lose.
