Here is a recent news story: Bibi blasts ceasefire: Israeli PM Asks if U.S. Would Have Ceasefire After Pearl Harbor, 9/11.
What an absurd comparison!
More profoundly, is the analogy between the 9/11 attack and the Pearl Harbor attack, as is often done in America, even valid?
Yes and no!
Currently, there are two major wars ongoing: Ukraine and Gaza. America is heavily behind both.
Why is it?
Money – Almost everything American is about money!
In a previous post (Dancing Queens & Kings: Call for Participation (5)), I highlighted 10 dancing queens or kings as examples (age-group):
Now, let me highlight how they did at USDC 2023 last month (9/4-10).
In a previous post (America between Israel and Palestine?), I talked about the Israel-Palestine conflict escalated by the recent Hamas attack on Israel. In this post, I will compare the event of 10/7/2023 with that of 9/11/2001, although even America’s MSM has started doing it (e.g., On GPS: A peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict).
The news of the week has been Israel is at war with Hamas. Here’s what to know. So, let me add my two cents …
As a Chinese-American, I have no personal stake in this conflict, but I am deeply concerned about America, especially its one-sidedness for Israel, against not only Palestine but also the global south (Injustice Against Palestinians Cannot Continue)!
My forthcoming book “Dancing Queens & Kings” is calling for participation. The only requirement is that you have competed at the USDC or OSB (2023 inclusive), with an interesting story to tell. Below is the timeline:
I am looking for 50 stories and will accept up to 60 submissions of 1 page (1st come, 1st accepted). After your 1 page is accepted, your 8-page is almost guaranteed to be included in the book unless it is so poorly written that it is totally unsalvageable.
In a previous post, I called out “America: It is the political system, stupid!” What, then, is America’s political system?
Democracy!
In other words, “it is democracy, stupid!”
America is deeply in trouble (A quarter of Americans open to taking up arms against government, poll says), with no easy way out.
Why is that?
Simply put, it is the political system, stupid!
