Red Tent 紅帳篷及中東政策之我見

(2007-05-26 12:25:49) 下一個
我讀"紅帳篷"用了幾乎一年。書是2002年得到的聖誕節禮物,開始翻了幾頁,是說古老的、先世紀的阿拉伯人的故事,覺得離現在太遙遠,就放下了。這一放就是一年,直到去年才又拿起來。其實是一本很不錯的書。評論說:如果聖經是由女人寫的,一定就像這本書一樣。有點言過其實,不過這也說明此書值得一看。

當然這不過是篇小說,當不得真的。隻是對我這樣的懶人來說,沒有耐心去讀那些學究的曆史文獻,就隻有從這種有故事性的八褂小說裏看看世界。

看到後來有點慘不忍睹的感覺,對比此書開始時的溫馨,後來的血腥更讓我覺得懾目驚心。看了以後的感覺是,阿拉伯世界的曆史是血淋淋的曆史。那好鬥、喋血的民族、及宗教的產生是曆史的必然。

Here is my take on any middle east affairs:

If you are not a middle easterner, stay out of there. The region has been in trouble of inner fight and genocide for more than 2000 years. No outsider can solve their problems but themselves.

To Americans: You should totally forget about the oil reserves in Middle East. That's theirs, NOT yours. Dig into your own backyard to find more or invent something to replace it.

To Europeans: You should totally forget about your entwined history with Middle East. Instead remind yourselves once a while the terrible and ever lasting religious wars with them.

To Chinese: remember any tragedy on earth is a loss to human race not a gain for yourselves.

To many G. W. Bush bashing here is what your beloved Clinton:

CLINTON AGAINST FREE SPEECH IN DENMARK AS IN CHINA

I came back from teaching only to discover that the former president, who had nothing to say about Yahoo helping China to put a subscriber in jail for being a whistle blower, has plenty to say about a Danish paper publishing offensive cartoons. Clearly he knows who is paying for his new lifestyle. In any case, a man like Clinton will never stand up to dangerous entities like China or Saudi Arabia when he can pick on safe democratic Denmark.

I was going to write shame on him but I know too well the man does not know the meaning of the word.

Well, no word for Muslims. They are serious bunch, not the kind can take others advise or humors. Let professionals: politicians and 外交官們 do the talking there.
