Unfortunately Americans (US Americans) do not refer to the rest of the  
Hemisphere as "America".  We are taught that "we" here in the United States  are 
"America", period.  And therein lies one of the major problems. We are  
self-centered, arrogant, think we know it all, and have little regard, usually,  for 
the rest of the world.  Just look at how few of us even bother to learn  
another language.  It is part of the American (US American)  psyche. Remember 9/11 
when it was discovered that no one in the CIA and  other agencies, spoke 
Arabic.  That is laughable on one hand and truly  pitiful on the other.  
 
Oh how I wish I live to see the day when that is different.

For  all.

When you want to express something about United States, please  say: US, USA, 
United States, or something like that.

When you want to  express something about all America: (Latin America, 
Caribbean Area, North  America), please express: America, Americas.

Monroe maybe was one of  the biggest problem in the development of a real 
latinamerican area, Monroe  express: America for the Americans, but some people 
(in special in USA)  understand America for the USA.

So, please, almost in this  "international space of dialogue", express 
correctly.

And only for put  some ideas in the discuss, some year ago, a latinamerican 
proposal for try to  help in the academic discuss about what doing with the 
cyberspace appear in  2001. This project called: "The Internationalization of 
Cyberspace for a Legal  E-Qual World: A Latin American Initiative"
