You are right that a new 'Justice League of America" will be started soon, next month #0 comes out. Also, this fall a new 'Justice Society of America' will start replacing the JSA book.
The new 'Justice League of America' is replacing the 'JLA' book run that began in the 90's When that book was released one of the known reasons that America wasn't used was they didn't want to offend anyone, also they hoped to make the book new and fresher at the time. Another reason was that of the seven members, four were from, Krypton, Mars, Atlantis, and Paradise Island. The reason, 'Justice League' animated series on cable left America out of the title was for the same reason.

Do you have any cites to back that up? I think it *could* be true but this is the first I've heard such a claim.
