- now you are taking me for an
Amrikan. Hey why not? "
Race traitor",
"Brownie", "Hindoo Joo" - I am all for equal-opportunities and heartily welcome all labels!
I myself have gone "overboard" on this forum and AM deleted my post, I don't blame him.
What we all need to realize is that every democracy is a bunch of "competing interests". It is a pendulum that swings, from one extreme to the other, most of the time somewhere in the middle. Sometimes when the need may be in one area the pendulum is swinging someplace else. This is life, it ain't the best but I am yet to see better.
In fairness and with introspection - my innuendos went overboard. Instead of editing it - I will hereby apologize.
Sh*t happens, if I took everything that happens at face value i would have to fire half my employees every month. Let bygones be bygones.
First of all - can you quote one single instance where I apologized for the CCP and its antics? Amrikans love "democracy" as they love their bombs. Yours truly actually hoisted a banner on June 5, 1989 as a high school student in Shanghai.
The only personal statement I have made about you is in reply to
Vassnti's post. If you take issue please reply.
I am not one to
holider-than-thou double-speak. However, ever since Kosovo, followed by Iraq, without going over too wide a tangent - let's just say my "understandings" changed - rather drastically I might add.
Kosovo and Iraq are two different animals. In Kosovo a secular (but still a Judeo-Christian nation) the US, destroyed a Christian nation, Serbia, to give freedom to a muslim majority province of Kosovo. The minority of Serbians in Kosovo today are hanging by a thread. Wait until Jizia is imposed on them. Ask the Kosavars about the US (they just erected a huge statue to Clinton) and you will truly understand the significance of what happened. Never in history has an event like that ever happened.
Bush was an isolationist, he wanted to look after the interest of the american citizen. He had zero interest (or knowledge) of world affairs, then 9/11 happened. After Afghanistan we went into Iraq to free "the Iraqi"s from Sadaam" . Even I, who was pretty knowledgeable of the area, was suprised of the sunni/shia hatred, and slaughter. This was our biggest failure in Iraq.
to your "vatos".
We'll pick this up another time, if you are game - and I suspect you will be.
Regards.
For me the night is always young, you never know what the future holds.
For the record I've had some wonderful times in Xiamen with strangers I met (I could barely walk to my hotel room). I have some great friends in Karachi who i have to make time for.
