The New York Times article that claims that no two countries with McDonald's haven't declared war on one another is false. Take the United States (which of course has thousands of McDonalds) has attacked a number of countries, in fact very recently.

- Vietnam
- Korea
- El Salvador/Nicargua
- Panama (see film PANAMA DECEPTION - hard to find BUT WORTH IT!!!)
- Grenda

These attacks (although the powers that be will have you think otherwise) were very questionable in nature.

The 'theory' doesn't say that "no country with McDonald's" has never
declared war on another country" it says that "no country with McDonald's" has never declared war on another country THAT HAS A MCDONALD'S"
It which case the theory seems correct but doesn't change that fact that it
is totally meaningless and proves nothing at all about McDonald's
