OK:

- So you are saying "we" is limited to Western Europe. And perhaps parts of Oceania. Never mind the impact, good or bad, that this "winning" of "ours" has on the rest of the world. The important thing is that "we" "won", whatever that means. Never mind anyone who is not "we".

- Also, I am sure people still kick down doors with impunity even in America. Actually I have heard that people can shoot people dead — without having to kick down doors — and do so with impunity. In America. Or maybe those cases do not count because we cannot blame them on Karl Marx?

So again, what is it this Cold "War" is about, that "we" supposedly "won"?

The very idea of creating a "standard" is to offer something to the world. If your only motivation for proposing a standard is because "I" (i.e. you) want it, then you are doing it wrong.

Thank you!
