The War in Iraq hasn't harmed American brands too much.
From Levi's jeans to McDonald's restaurants to Marlboro cigarettes, a robust performance in many international markets actually helped offset corporate problems at home. The truth is, contrary to perceptions of an anti-U.S. backlash around the world tied to the Iraq war, consumers everywhere continue to embrace U.S. brands. The evidence suggests that desirable products and services, effectively marketed by honorable companies to consumers in ways they can understand, trump suspicions of American hegemony.
I guess those protests and demonstrations we have heard about didn't really have the intended effect.
