China bashing and US arse kissing

A Pew survey takes the honour of Today’s front page to accentuate the fear of China by Asian countries. China is branded as the most feared country to start a war in the South China Sea, a war that may not happen for the next one hundred years if the US does not provoke, support and incite other puny countries to have a go at China, attempting to claim China’s islets. And no one bothers about all the wars that the US had started and fought in Asia and the Middle East. And no one bothers about the bombing by the Israelis against the Palestinians but about a prefabricated nightmare the West cooked up to frighten the Asian countries about China. Had China started a war and fought a war of invasion against any country since 1949 or since Genghis Khan ruled China?
 
And while China is painted by the West as the demon to be and the threat to peace, what is the perception of the US by the Asians? Our top thinker, Asia’s foremost and recognized thinker, Mahbubani, wrote an article in the ST in praise of the wholesome goodness of the Americans. I quote,
 
‘The first lesson is the folly of good intentions. Let’s be clear about one thing: Americans are not evil people. They do not conquer countries to rape, pillage and loot. Instead, they conquer countries to help the people.’ I am sure Mahbubani really, sincerely, believes in what he said about the good Americans’ good intention. He did not know that the Americans and the British fabricated the story of WMD, a total myth to be used as an excuse to invade Iraq, to kill Saddam Hussein with good intention. I must forgive him for not reading the newspapers. But he knew something about the war, and I quote again,
 
‘The US spent US$4 trillion, lost thousands of American lives and millions of Iraqi lives …. .‘ So much for American goodness and good intentions. Killing millions of Iraqis on a lie is good. I hope they don’t teach our children about such goodness and good intention. NLB must check and remove books that agree with this kind of goodness.
 
And in the concluding paragraph of his article he said this, ‘America should get out of the business of invasion and occupation. Four decades of failure have provided enough evidence to prove that the American people are far too good to do this job.’
 
My goodness, if the top thinker in Asia thinks like that, and he wrote a book, I think, questioning whether Asians can think, what about the rest of unthinking Asians? I think they must be praying to have wet dreams sleeping with the Americans and enjoying every moment of it in the warm caress of the Americans, in bed.
 
How could a country that treated everyone else as a nail and keep hammering everyone with a hammer, for four decades, be a country of good people with good intentions? Is there a word ‘bad or evil’ in Mahbubani’s or the Asian’s vocabulary for the Americans? Everything about the Americans is about wholesome goodness and good intentions even when they incited wars, provoked wars, engaged in wars and in the killing of millions of Asians. Good intention!
 
And China is the bad guy, the monster waiting to start a war that may not even happen! The American arse must smell damn good, all wholesome goodness.

When evil is goodness!
