How do Isreal and Iraq Compare to Things Fall Apart the novel?

What is a good analogy for the situation in whats goin on today in iraq with the americans being over their and all that relates to the novel things fall apart like the cultural alienation/vanishing cultures, polygamy, domestic violence, Social causes of violence, changing gender roles, adapting to change.How do Isreal and Iraq Compare to Things Fall Apart the novel?
In Things Fall Apart, the people of Umofia struggle with trying to hold on to their dying culture. As the whites came in, the younger people converted easily to Christianity. In present day Iraq and Israel, the same thing is happening. the world see them as ';third world'; countries so they aren't as ';civilized'; as the United States or the other superpowers in the world. so all of their traditions and cultures are being blown away by ';democracy';. i never even thought about it until i saw this question but its like the same exact situation.How do Isreal and Iraq Compare to Things Fall Apart the novel?
