It's nonsense, I know many people who do business there - the people over there are just like anyone else, anywhere else. Yes their government is a little on the conservative side (like the US), but people are generally free to live their lives, to come and go as they please, and to conduct business with foreigners as they wish which is more than the people of the US can do (e.g. it is illegal for an American to visit Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Serbia or Sudan)
Is the US government whipping up a new enemy as per 1984? Yes, just as they have continued to do ever since 1942.
Here's a question - maybe it's worth its own thread - but since 1942, has the US NOT had an enemy against which it's been fighting against? Doesn't this strike anyone else as being a bit odd?
