The world we live in is confusing. We can put into action in so many films americans being heros but once the words are actually spoken it becomes offensive. Maybe we could really upset some and make Cobra commander Arabic...just an abrasive thought.
Cobra is a group founded by and ruled by an American. Most of it's known members are American or European. If the good guys AND bad guys are basically American or European, how can that possibly be offensive to ANYONE unless they HATE US TO BEGIN WITH? And if one hates America or Western culture to begin with, why do I care about their feelings?
