"The export of American culture has historically tainted other nations, according to Schaudel.
"You can look in so many different corners of the world, where very similar operations have happened, where the U.S. either covertly or overtly has backed military takeovers, and then not long after that, you see multi-nationals and U.S. corporations coming in there," Schaudel said.
Peter Cook, an organizer with the radical anti-war group International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), agrees about the threat of American culture to the Iraqis.
"The U.S is putting in place an old-fashioned colonial regime [in Iraq]. We can be pretty sure that the U.S. is going to be impacting all aspects of Iraqi society," Cook said. He also does not believe Iraqi citizens will benefit from America's influence or rebuilding.
"I am not sure colonialism has ever made anybody better off except a few people in colonial power," Cook said.
