II

It seems strange to me that a country that wishes to promote democracy to the undemocratic, do not know to whom they are dealing with.

Yes, i'm talking about the US. Americans in general are totally ignorant towards the world around them. They behave as the Japanese did before the Portugese settled in Japan. The Japanese believed that they were alone in the world, well, apart from the Chinese and the Koreans of course, but apart from that, they were alone. They were self reliant. They grew their own crops, traded among themselves, and also had their own religion, the Shinto.
In many ways America is somewhat like Japan, it is surrounded by water seoerating it from the 'old world'. But in my opinion, if America wants to be the worlds champion, it has to be able to know who it is safe guarding. It amazes me that a nation that prides itself as being the representative of the people, doesn't know the people.

One quick question. How many people in America can defrentiate between a Sikh's turban and an Arabic kiffayah? Well, not many. Only those who are in the know will know. To me it is just ironic. So, how is the US going to keep the world safe?

The old saying, "Know thy enemy", really plays apart. It is just not enough to simply know about the number of people that live there, and what is that country's income, and the statistic. In order to win a war, you need to study the people, how they think, predict how they would react and not predict how you want them to react. Now that's how you win a war.

One other question to sum up my ramblings. Why is it Americans will only know a country when there is a war?


With confidence I am rambling because I assume that no one will reply...........
