When Eng Hen
repeated what Mattis said, does it mean that he or Singapore agrees with the
American myth? It is difficult for Asians to think differently especially when
the white man is from the most powerful country in the world and what he said
must be right or at least not to be questioned. Or was Eng Hen just behaving
like a gracious host, not to offend the most powerful nation in the world, Singapore’s
staunchest backer in international affairs, and just has to repeat what the
American said? Or is it due to the lack of an Asian view, an Asian agenda, that
the rest of the Asian delegates were there making empty noises or talking
nonsense or making no noise at all, so there is nothing to talk about other
than the American agenda? Yes, what is new other then allowing the Americans to
come all the way across the Pacific Ocean to tell the daft what is their
problem and that the daft did not know.
Ok, to be
fair to Eng Hen, I think he just gave lip service to Mattis by mentioning North
Korea in passing while his main speech was all about terrorism which is the
real threat to the region. His only
mention of North Korea was in one sentence, if the media is quoting his full
speech, and the rest of his address was all about terrorism. Can the daft see
and understand the difference in saying something and let it pass as irrelevant
and then concentrate on the real issue, ie terrorism?
Who cares
about North Korea other than the Americans and those that were stirring the
hornet’s nest? If no Asian country is taking a pole to poke at the North
Koreans, the North Koreans would not be bothered with the country’s existence. The
real threat to the region other than terrorism is from the world’s Number One
Terrorist, the Americans and their provocation and agitation for war in the
region. The Americans are still behaving like the rogues from Europe that raped
the whole world in the colonial days, believing in might is right. Remove this
monster and there will be peace and stability with only the smaller terrorist
threat to deal with.
Get the
picture? The Number One Terrorist is pointing the fingers at the North Koreans
and others and all the daft forgot to look at the Number One Terrorist as the
real threat. They just divert the attention to something else and the daft just
look at where the Number One Terrorist is pointing to. When would the daft open
their eyes to see the real terrorist in the region, in the whole world?
Stupidity
has no cure.
