"That is why -- let's face it -- Michael Jackson probably did more than anyone else ..."
...in his lifetime to enhance America's image overseas."

For every five people who have read Lolita in Tehran, roughly a billion have tried, in the privacy of their own rooms, to master the moonwalk.

MORE...It's QUITE the read!

1. Michael Jackson was a tad weird but had musical talent
The article is correct; he was also popular abroad, which is a good thing for the U.S.

However, he got too big and it went to his head. He began to think he could do anything - even with children.

That's when he lost my interest.

8. From Cher, Maddona, etc. everyone copied Michael's dance act...
which really did make their shows come more alive - bigger.

9. Instead of using bombs, they could've shocked & awed with a little Michael
THAT'S the way you win hearts & minds.

The best of the U.S.A. was represented in Michael Jackson.
