Does it not strike you as odd that whenever there is a protest in favor of US domination and the overthrow of a supposedly oppressive regimes, the protestors are generally carrying signs in English?

I don't know, man, when I was protesting against ACTA I was carrying signs in English too. And that was in Poland. This might be related to the idea that once you're protesting, you want international media to pick up the story.
If you are trying to influence poles and the polish government, why the "international media"? What it actually means is that you are asking the American elite and the New York Times to live up to its professed principles and go easy on Poland - acknowledging that that US is the hegemon. Nothing terribly wrong with this on ACTA, an international treaty. But when you are supposedly revolting against your own government, seeking the overthrow of a supposedly oppressive regime, appealing for US support is treason against your local elites and local people.
