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"
