[Re Israeli case
for war with Syria - and Lebanon, February 8] Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu has his hands full with the very right-wing Foreign Minister Avigdor
Lieberman, who is eager to go to war with the Arabs. Netanyahu needs
Lieberman's support to remain in power, which makes life difficult in
restraining him. Lieberman's itchy finger on the war trigger reveals Israel's
inability to broker a peace agreement not only with the Palestinians but also
Syria and Lebanon. Although "Grapes of Wrath" and "Cast Lead" have brought
untold misery on Lebanon and Gaza, these two military incursions have not
brought any lasting benefits to Israel. Under the American military and
political umbrella, Jerusalem has a free hand to shower its Arab neighbors with
death and destruction. But Lieberman's ravings of war against Syria will bring
him into conflict with his American handlers, who are not willing to open yet
another war in the Middle East.

Ian C Purdie in his letter of February 5 claimed: "Every time the United States
involved itself in these kind of adventures since 1945, only chaos, heartache,
tragedy and misery ensued." Well it appears that Purdie suffers from leftist
disease, which causes a malfunctioning, selective memory. It was the US that
stopped the complete takeover of Europe by the Stalinist Soviet Union. It was
American military power that kept the murderous North Koreans from enslaving
the South at a cost of billions of dollars and 57,000 US lives. It was American
power that forced Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait and stopped the ethnic cleansing
of Muslims in Kosovo. You can also add in Grenada, Panama and protection of the
Kurds in northern Iraq. Perhaps Purdie could use a brief lecture from Colonel
Jessup, "I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man
who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and
then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just
said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon
and stand the post." Oh, and your welcome.

[Re 30-second
warnings, February 6] Of the many many beliefs that prevail amongst
Wonderlanders, the one I find most ironic is the pro-lifer movement, which
opposes birth control of one form or another. The typical
contra-contraceptionist has some pretension of a religious faith (though
invariably their theology is based on ignorance, mythology and fantasy), have
flags festooning their trailers year-round, foam at the mouth at any suggestion
of government helping the poor and have Pavlovian responses to the mantra of
cut-taxes-and-small-government. Paramount among these defenders of
"traditional" mores is their devotion to the sanctity of life, as symbolized by
their adamant opposition to abortion (and even birth control pills among the
more rabidly delusional.) Life, they say, is a gift from God Almighty and only
He can determine who will live and who will die. Yet mention the prospect of
the US going to war over any imagined offence, no matter how superficially
ridiculous, and these Life-is-Sacred types will be the first to urge young
Americans to go overseas and kill non-American soldiers. If some non-American
babies get killed "collaterally," that's OK, 'cuz very Wonderlander knows some
lives are more sacred than others. Apparently all those American troops somehow
become a god, albeit a temporary one. Similarly, if a doctor exercises his/her
right to perform abortions, well, their sacred life deserves to be taken by yet
another instant-god wielding a shotgun. The number of such sharp-shooting gods
proliferate among the neo-conservatives, in some sort of spontaneous
sanctification-by-proxy ritual unknown to non-believers. ...

[Re 30-second
warnings, February 5] America's enemies must be laughing out loud when
they read this article, which accurately portrays the "gone crazy over sports"
crowd. I am willing to take the heat as usual for standing by my country and
the values that have made this country the greatest beacon of freedom and
opportunity in the world. Bring it on, "the truth will set me free". When a
country takes great offense over a pro-life ad but finds joy in almost naked
women parading their bodies and "farting clowns," then we are in trouble. It is
true that amidst great crisis we must find a way out. However, aggrandizing
mediocrity in such an indolent way is not the best display of character. It is
not the best display of strength either, when we have so many enemies, foreign
and domestic. Super Bowl Sunday is the day where "slacking" reaches its peak
through its idealization and cult. This time I wanted to disagree with Robert
Lipsyte; however, decency and the fact that he is speaking the truth (except
for the ideologically charged last paragraph of his piece) prevented me from
doing so. Regarding Ian C Purdie's letter [February 5], I would like to say
that no one has appointed America as the liberator of the world. However, we
cannot ignore that we have enemies plotting 24/7 on how to kill Americans. The
world is not too big anymore and what happens in Asia affects me in the United
States. I respect the opinion of those promoting jihad, sharia for the West,
and death to the infidels, but instead of sending them a personal letter
viciously attacking them, I give them a dose of truth and perhaps anger with my
sometimes "silly" letters. I stand by my words, my position, and according to
you "lack of humility". This is why I am thankful to be an American, I can
believe in whatever I want and say whatever I want, without having to respond
to a police state or some dictatorial "religious" hierarchy.

[Re Desperation fuels
North Korea's leniency, February 5] Pyongyang had no purchase in
detaining the Reverend Robert Park. Is his release an act of desperation, as
Donald Kirk suggests? Maybe so, since North Korea has bigger problems.
Demonetization has let off a storm which has sent tremors through all of North
Korea's society. ... The North Korean won's re-evaluation was a major mistake
and the government is back pedaling fast. The crisis reveals the extent, albeit
limited, of an incipient market economy which has escaped Pyongyang's control,
especially in the provinces. The push for seizing "full" control of the money
supply has exposed a weakness in the nation's governance.

[Re Taliban take on
the US's surge, February 2] I really must take serious issue with the
letter of Ysais A Martinez [February 4]. He tells us, "I have insisted that our
wars are aimed at liberating nations and fostering democracy ... even if some
conflicts are not." Whoever appointed the United States as a liberator? When
was that? This from a nation which couldn't recognize democracy if it fell over
it? Once again I'm reminded that the US is not a democracy but a representative
republic, a huge difference. Every time the US involved itself in these kind of
adventures since 1945, only chaos, heartache, tragedy and misery ensued. No
democracy followed, nothing. Compliant dictatorships, yes. Every conflict the
US has directly or indirectly fomented in the last 45 years has benefited no
one excepting the US military-industrial complex. As a fellow Catholic,
Martinez, I must ask where does your arrogance to "force" change on others come
from? No humility can I discern, no pursuit of important "social justice"
objectives are in your missives, absolutely nothing beyond tub thumping. It's
most disheartening and, very un-Christ-like to me.

Wonderlanders love winners. Competition, confrontation, conflict, this is the
lifeblood of American social Darwinism, the winnowing of the herd so that only
the fittest and hardiest survive. (I note with irony that the primary advocates
of this philosophy, without naming it as such, are also the first to denounce
Charles Darwin's famous theory.) Sports, economics, politics, even religion,
boils down to one's better than the other, measured by scores, polls,
portfolios or congregations. This zero-sum mindset has no room for shades of
gray or the subtleties and nuances of ambiguity; black is black and white is
white. Within the boundaries of America's faux democracy, this ruthless
Manichaeism has been tempered sufficiently to allow politicos to make their
backstreet deals. Publicly pronounced ideological grandstanding always took a
backseat to good ol' fashioned smoke-filled-room capitalism. But the culture
wars of the 1960s and 1970s have morphed into the 21st century scorched-earth
strategy of the conservative movement, which is determined to destroy any
vestige of liberal power at any cost. Compromise is a dirty word, perspective a
discredited concept; only all out, merciless war is justified, especially since
most conservatives are convinced they're doing "God's Work". God does not
negotiate with Satan. It is quite clear that the current GOP policy is to
obfuscate, obstruct, and ostracize any efforts to cooperate with "the enemy,"
embodied so ideally for them by a half-black, half-Kenyan Democratic president.
Any Republican who shows even a hint of amity to Barack Obama is subject to
excommunication and exile. The vilification of Obama in every aspect of US
culture is simply astounding; every position he has taken has been distorted,
twisted and mangled to reflect the willful demonization of "the other" (anyone
who doesn't froth at the mouth with conservative fanaticism.) Essentially, the
GOP will not be happy until they have cut off their noses, ears, lips and
tongues just to frustrate their ideological foes and wreck the country once and
for all. The eyes will remain, because the conservatives will see precisely
what they want to see. This will doubtless be the autopsy result pronounced by
future historians when they examine the shattered remains of the "Humpty Dumpty
Disunited States". By that time all the king's horses and all the king's men
will be working in China for minimum wage. And the GOP will consider that a
Republican victory.

[Re Anwar trial
another black eye for Malaysia, February 4] As a Malaysian I am deeply
disturbed by the ongoing trial of [opposition leader] Anwar Ibrahim, which I
like most Malaysians feel is unnecessary, politically motivated and will lead
to a national disaster. For the first time there is a real possibility of a
two-party system. For the first time there are hopes for a change of government
for the better and hopes for an untangling of racial politics, and more
democratic and accountable governance. For the first time there are hopes for a
more productive economy for the nation. All these hopes were made raised by one
man - Anwar Ibrahim. It is indeed sad that the forces of destruction are bent
on eliminating these hopes of the people and the nation. Of late Malaysians
have shown great wisdom and maturity. Will these be sufficient to thwart the
detrimental efforts of a minority that is trying to take the nation backwards
to the era of divisive rule along racial line? Only time will tell. This is the
time for Malaysians of all races to rise up to show they care for the country
they love.

The article, Brinjal
a political hot potato in India [February 3], refers to Vidarbha
district in India's central state of Madhya Pradesh, "where farmer suicides
showed a dramatic upward spiral from 2,000 to 4,000 within a span of few years
after the introduction of Bt cotton". It should be the Vidharbha region in
western state of Maharashtra, not Madhya Pradesh as mentioned in the article.
Aside from that small error, this is the most brilliant and most comprehensive
piece about the Bt Brinjal issue I have come across to date.
Jamal (Feb 4, '10)
[Re Taliban take on
the US's surge, February 2] Is there any need to question why we are in
trouble? This article should be read by every single military strategist and
politician in the United States. Is it rational that the main military topic
being debated in the United States is "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" while we have a
mess on several fronts in the Middle East? I wonder if repealing "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" will change the course of events in Afghanistan. Do these people
live in Dreamland? Sometimes I am afraid that they do. I have insisted that
"our wars" are aimed at liberating nations and fostering democracy (even if
some conflicts are not). However, in the case of the conflicts in the Middle
East, the US has to act like a lion not like a little cat. The iron will and
fierceness that the Taliban show in battle should be used in our favor: give
them their country back, work out a deal with them so they keep the region
stable, get the troops out of there, focus the military on real threats and
have the Taliban do the dirty work for the US intelligence branches. This is
the strategy that we should take on. The big picture is there. Look at Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin in Russia. He had the Chechens (led by Ramzan Kadyrov)
do the violent work for Russia. It is time to start thinking like Cardinal
Richelieu rather than Paris Hilton.

[Re The Iraqi oil
conundrum, February 3] There is no mystery as to why Iraq's rich
reserves of oil are not flowing freely into the world markets. It has little to
do whether China or Norway or Great Britain or even the US has put down stakes
to exploit Baghdad's black gold. Where is the conundrum when you look at how US
president George W Bush's war destroyed the foundations of Iraq's political,
social, and economic structures? Washington was good at destroying the regime
of Saddam Hussein, but has proved hardly adept in replacing it with a viable
alternative. And after almost eight years of warfare, a new state built on a
consensus of Shia, Sunni, and Kurds is sorely absent. The flaring up of suicide
bombings should tell us that profits from tapping into Iraq's oil fields remain
more a hope than a reality.

[Re Profits,
not principals, move the age, Febrary 1] Isn't it much more likely that
these banks wish for hyperinflation to come? On the one hand they are right now
sitting on all those worthless realties, while on the other they owe Washington
billions. Hyperinflation (maybe followed by currency conversion) would solve
all their problems. Realties would skyrocket in value while at the same moment
their debts would simply vanish into thin air. At last - for them - the global
crisis would be a good thing. The biggest debtors would come out on top. In
other words, solving this crisis is the last thing they really wish for.

[Re South Korea marks a
painful centenary, February 2] Ronan Thomas has brought to non-Korean
readers' attention the 100th anniversary of Japan's occupation of Korea and the
daring act of Ahn Jung-geun in assassinating [former Japanese premier] Ito
Hirobumi. And the news that South Korea is opening a museum in Ahn's memory.
Interested readers may enjoy James Hadley's new book Imperial Cruise,
which explains the role of the US president Theodore Roosevelt - who won the
Nobel Peace Prize for his mediation at the end of the Russo-Japanese war
(1904-1905) - in Japan's colonial rule over Korea. Roosevelt was a big believer
in a racial theory and saw the Japanese as a civilizing race. For Roosevelt,
the much coveted piece of property known as the "Korean peninsula" should have
been ruled by Japan.

[Re Let's
atomize Wall Street, February 2] Of all the wonders of Wonderland,
perhaps none is more miraculous and quintessentially American than
"Something-for-Nothing". It is more than a philosophy, to be sure, and only a
tad less than a religion, but this fundamental zeitgeist has shaped and molded
Americans for the last 50 years or so. Its premise is that Americans can have
it all; more money, more food, more freedom, more wars, with no penalties or
pain. Like manna from heaven, it is a divine gift that has enabled
Wonderlanders to create stock derivatives, super-sized meals, contrived Middle
East invasions and magic pain-eradicating pills. These wonder tools make us
feel good about ourselves, our democracy and our superiority to the rest of the
world, who are so pathetic they actually have to make things, watch what they
eat and (heavens!) not wage war at the drop of an imaginary hat. Where it began
is hard to say; some speculate that former president Lyndon B Johnson's
hallucinogenic mirage that he could have a Southeast Asian war that conquered
communism and nationalism and a Great Society that banished poverty and racism
at the same time was an origin. Others say that former president Ronald
Reagan's idea that we could borrow billions, slash billions in taxes and social
spending and spend billions on unproductive weapons was similarly based on
magic mushroom consumption. I, for one, favor the idea that Americans going on
diets and popping weight loss pills as a placebo panacea for obesity, in lieu
of just not stuffing their faces so much with junk, was the principal
instigator of "S-for-N". Still, it's hard to argue with the advocates of Wall
Street voodoo as being the prime benefactors, if not originators. That good ol'
New York Yankee ingenuity in manipulating complex investment instruments into
unfathomable get-rich-quick Ponzi schemes at the same time they cooked
accounting books with the fervor of the Iron Chef on steroids, must rank as one
of history's all time Something-for-Nothing scams. It is fitting that President
Barack Obama has given those same Wall Street thieves all the
Something-for-Nothing they could ever imagine, and then some.
Hardy Campbell (Feb 3, '10)
[Re Terror comes at
night in Afghanistan, January 29 and
US and China pick their fights, January 25] In reference to the letters
of Ysais A Martinez and Helen Logan [February 1]. it's hard for me to
understand how people can be so indoctrinated by United States propaganda.
Martinez, the US soldiers are not risking it all for "freedom and democracy'".
They are in Afghanistan for three reasons: Firstly, to gain access for a
pipeline to the Indian Ocean. Two, Afghanistan is mineral rich and the US wants
to control and profit by that. Thirdly, the US wants to establish permanent
bases in Central Asia in hopes of encircling China to thwart China's access to
the Caspian area's energy resources. There are other reasons concerning
Pakistan, China and Iran, but those three are paramount. Next Martinez, the US
treats enemy combatants illegally by not treating them as prisoners of war
under the Geneva regulations. No nation in the last half century has treated
war prisoners so badly as the US. The US is in the same league as the Soviet
Union during the worst of the Stalinist purges when it comes to this subject.
Now for Logan. Correct, Russia is no longer the "dreaded" Soviet Union. But
make no mistake, Russia is a powerful nuclear-armed country, capable of
international influence through military, energy, and technology associations.
Russia did not "bully" Georgia, it responded to an attack on their peacekeepers
in the enclave of Ossetia. I can assure Logan that China has not let any of its
nuclear technology flow to or through Taiwan. At least not intentionally. I can
also assure you that China does not need the help of any country to deal with
the US or any other countries on this globe. Now that you both have been
enlightened a bit, I can sleep well knowing that I have done my good turn for
today.

[Re China's US
spending passes landmark, February 1] For Americans, it may be tough to
swallow. China is replacing the US as the economic engine that is driving the
global economy. Fiddling around with M&A [merger and acquisition]
statistics will not diminish that fact a whit. As Beijing casts its net into
the US market, where it can snap up failing or cash-strapped companies, it will
run into a high wall of nativist interests. Nonetheless, and in spite of the
Google scrap and the announced arms package for Taiwan, China will not be
deterred from the imperative of becoming the global power that dominates
markets.
Nakamura Junzo

[Re Sanctions,
regime change take center stage, January 28] Here we go again. Just
when it seemed that these failed policies to pressure Iran (sanctions, regime
change) had been relegated to the dustbin of history, it seems nothing has been
learned and the neo-conservative sharks are circling. The world should know who
Richard Haas is. He had a key role in former secretary of state Colin Powell's
now "infamous" speech before the United Nations in February of 2003 that
preceded the attack on Iraq. And, Robert Kagen has never been right about
anything. Why should anyone listen to them? Have they not done enough damage?
What has the failed policy of sanctions and regime change achieved? Nothing but
to leave the United States bereft of any knowledge about Iran. The
concentration of stupidity about Iran among foreign policy circles is
breathtaking and perhaps unprecedented in US history. Haas and Kagen advocating
for a US role in "regime change" should be reminded of 1953 and the
consequences of the last time the US had a hand in the overthrow of a
freely-elected constitutional government of Iran, which was then led by
national heroes Mohammad Mossadegh and Hussein Fatemi. To repeat that folly
would be disastrous for the national security interests of the United States in
the region. Reform and change will come to Iran as it has in the last three
decades, but it will be evolutionary and done according to the will of the
Iranian people, not through the interference of Western governments. What needs
to be resolved is, what is in the national security interests of the United
States in the region? Is it to continue to do all the US can to engage Iran, or
to continue down the same path of the last 30 years? Common sense alone
dictates that engagement is the only way to go forward. For diplomacy to
succeed, there must be an abundance of patience and perseverance. As an
example, look at [former US president] Richard Nixon's opening to China in the
early 1970s. It is uncanny how the same arguments being made by Haas and Kagen
today were being made then concerning engaging China. Despite what seemed to be
insurmountable obstacles, both internally and externally, and in many ways
paralleling Iran today, engagement was made and the rest is history. The Barack
Obama administration's measured efforts to engage must continue ignoring the
rhetoric, Congress and special pleadings. The president spoke about the goal of
doubling exports in his State of the Union message. Imagine if there was
engagement, and the business people of the United States could sell their
products to 70 million Iranian consumers. That is exactly what the British,
French and other European allies are doing. Their business people are all over
Iran, selling and buying, during all these years that the US has not had
bilateral relations. "Enough is enough" should be the mantra applied to the
failed policies of the last several decades.

[Re Profits,

Principal over principle, Jun 6, 2009] I always suspected that Chan
Akya was simply an economic reincarnation of Spengler, but the latest
"principle/principal" wordplay (pioneered by Chan Akya and continued by
Spengler) confirms it once and for all. Next thing that needs to be done is
redoubling of efforts by Chan Akya, concomitant with the long-awaited demise of
Spengler. The former's offerings on economy are as good as the latter's cheap
potshot "philosophy" is not. Asia Times Online will do fine with just one David

[Re Terror comes at
night in Afghanistan, January 29] Anand Gopal's article is intriguing
in so many ways. It is really a very effective article trying to influence its
audience against American troops. But isn't this called propaganda? ... I was
about to start hating the soldiers who are risking it all for freedom and
democracy in a place where corruption, deception, murder, abuses against women,
and lies are the norm. ... I believe that the United States is the only country
on earth where enemy combatants are given constitutional rights rather than
tried as enemies in military courts. This is the obvious reason why these wars
will extend for decades. The US is fighting the enemies within, the left-wing
press, jihadists turned journalists, and all those who hate freedom and
prosperity. In fact, so great is the hate for America that one simple letter in
sympathy for my country is enough reason for a riot of personal attacks against
the individual who submitted his letter. Ysais A Martinez

[Re Anwar's
epic battle, the sequel, January 29] The upcoming sodomy trial of Anwar
Ibrahim may not necessarily end in a verdict of not guilty. The political
platform for his opposition party calls for affirmative action for all races,
not the positive discrimination for "Bumiputra" (indigenous Malays) that has
been in force for the last 40 years. Malaysian Prime Minister Razak Najib is
pushing a slow, gradualist approach to reform and racial harmony. The recent
desecration of churches and mosques may push the courts to not favor Anwar,
since his party's program is unsettling the status quo, and has thrown the UMNO
(United Malay Nasional Party) into a state of confusion. Anwar's imprisonment
would very much go in favor of Najib seizing more firmly the reins of power.

Singapore (Feb 1, '10)
[Re US and China pick
their fights, January 25] In his State of the Union speech, United
States President Barack Obama said that the greatest danger to the American
people was the threat of nuclear weapons. He then reassured Americans that he
has this looming catastrophe under control by his forging the
"farthest-reaching arms control treaty" with Russia. Our B-plus president
missed this question on his foreign policy test: Is Russia a superpower capable
of influencing global politics? The answer is no because it has dissolved into
a regional power capable of only bullying Georgia, a country smaller in size
and population than our state of Georgia. If Obama seeks to end the threat of
nuclear weapons, then he must confront China for smuggling its nuclear weapons
technology to Iran through Taiwanese companies. What stops our president
confronting China? To be true to his State of the Union promises, Obama must
borrow more money from the largest holder of our national debt, China. The
United States will default on its loans from China due to our Greater
Depression. And when China comes to collect its money from Obama, it will bring
its nuclear strong-armed friend, Iran.

Much hay is being made in Wonderland about Toyota's manufacturing ills. In the
zero-sum mentality of Oz, the recall of millions of vehicles for potentially
dangerous defects has sounded the Japanese car giant's death knell in North
America. This coming from a country whose own auto industry is on life support.
Supposedly, the prospects for a resuscitated Detroit to feast on the carcass
are bright, thus enabling the American firms to start selling cars to the same
fellow citizens they alienated with decades of slovenly products. We shall see.
But if I were a betting man, my money would be on Detroit indeed increasing
sales in the short term, with the long-term prospect of jacked-up prices and
corners cut on quality to boost profits even brighter. In the meantime, the
Japanese will return with big incentives, a focused advertising campaign and
superior cars to turn the temporary advantage of Detroit into, once again,
defeat, retreat and a trip to Washington, hat in hand. It takes no Nostradamus
or time machine to make such predictions. One can almost set one's watch by the
predictability of short-term good fortune being squandered into long-term
failure in America. Indeed, if one was a conspiracy theorist, one could suspect
this was merely a ploy to lull the easily seduced Detroit car barons back into
the same complacency that dug their graves in the first place. Ultimately, we
will see the "Big Three" liquidated and sold to Japanese, Chinese and European
car manufacturers. That sound you hear is Henry Ford whirling in his soon-to-be
crowded grave.
