I won't leave Asia without stopping by HK. Promise you! We lack the pretence of seriousness the Anglo-Saxon lot has. We know how it is and we state it. We live like it is. Anglo-Saxon, on the other hand, know how it is but are afraid of stating it. Hence, they don't live like it is. Resuming: The king is naked, we say it, and live our lives without denying that. It must be tough to be Anglo-Saxon. Look to a guy like Kofi Anan: Usually, World Bank, UN, you know institutions like those, would be run by a guy whose only assets were an accent and a yellow tie. A job taylor made for an Anglo-Saxon on his fifties. But if a African, like Kofi Anan puts the tie, elaborate in his accent, he can get the job. That because it would be frowned upon if we have lots of types like World Banks' Wolphensons and such guys. Hey where you would have an Anglo-Saxon writing like that.

Every military action of the US is just a justification for keeping that 300 billion defence budget. Period. People who has not pretence of seriousness, knows that. If terrorists didn't exist, they would invented. The worse thing that could happen to Israel, would be if tomorrow morning, the Palestinians, would call Sharon and say: "Send here a fleet of trucks, we will load every single weapon on them" We have ask Iran to give political asylum to all our commanders. And Iran is assuring us that they would behave once there." "We want to live in peace and harmony with all our neighbours from now on" This would be a severe blow to the Israeli state. That because a state of war is part of reason d'etre of Israel. Without a state of war, the country would not survive as it is. Always filter all the official talk about an issue and ask; Quo Prodest? To whom does this benefit? There is always one group benefiting for any action.
