"chuckcar" makes a good point
when he points out that the King of Iran,
who was put in power by Western nations
was removed from power "a few decades ago".

America replaced its' monarchy in 1776,
France followed in 1792 and 1871
China in 1912,
Russia in 1912,
Germany in 1918,
and Iran in 1979.

It appears that the citizens of most nations
prefer to have local temporary leaders,
to having hereditary Kings
and leaders imposed on them by foreign powers.

America even had to fight another war in 1812
to remain independent of a foreign nation and King.

As can be seen by the examples of
most African nations, most Muslim nations, India, etc.
it is pretty difficult for people to prevent foreigners from
co-opting control of their countries.

It appears that the agenda of Google
is to have access to information on the leaders
of all nations they can use to manipulate the leaders.

It is interesting to see that Google is whining,
and trying to create conflict between
America and China, because the Chinese leaders
will not allow Google to profit from pornography,
promote instigations that lead to conflicts and wars,
and to gather information they can use to
control the Chinese leaders.

Google is in much stronger position to
control the minds of Americans,
and the actions of American leaders,
than the Mass Media was during the 1900's,
when the Mass Media instigated many conflicts and wars,
including the Urban Rebellion that destroyed America's Inner Cities.

Hopefully, the America Government will also
take a stand against Google before they begin
to impose too much of the race/religion agenda
of the Google management upon Americans.

The best way to do this would be to prohibit individuals and groups
from having large control of both data archiving and search markets.
