Blu-ray and United States of America... anyone see any similiarities?

[SAVAK]

Hello.
Been a long time reader here (more in the hardware section) and enjoying the time here while I take breaks from my studies.
Today I had to study some history and something funny happened. I can see a very clear similarity between Blu-ray and United States.
Seems like some people tend to hate both since they are the most powerful; seem people dislike them because they are not underdogs....
I mean some people tend to oppose US no matter what just because it's US. Same with Blu-ray; it is the most powerful and yet people don't like it. Why is that?
Is it because they are not underdogs?
To me, Blu-ray resembles US and HD DVD resembles middle eastern dictators* willing to fight US anytime for any reason and some people love that fact they are standing up to US; no matter what the real reason behind it is! People call them freedom fighters for the sake of fighting US; while they are really dictators themselves. some folks like HD DVD because it is standing up to Sony, they dont care if they get a quality product or not, they just support it for the sake of opposing sony.


PS: I typed Middle east dictators not Middle east people. It's the dictators that cuase trouble not people.
