---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hoping are optimistic. -Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was posted either in full or as link on nukkad itself about an year ago. The site gave dated and timed transcripts of actual wireless messages between US submarine commander and the US base at pearl Harbour and the US higher officials. The people at Pearl Harbour were intentionally kept ignorant of Japanese plans to attack, though the US had full and exact and advance knowledge of the attack. Just imagine--US knowingly sacificing its own ship/submarine and personnel so as to be able to blame Japan for attack and thereby get an excuse to drop not one but two atom bombs on it! Fact is stranger than fiction. This could be perfect movie stuff. Alas! It is not. Duplicity, self centreness and selfishness and hypocrisy of US is unbelievable. It is true that every nation has right to protect its own interests. However, US thinks it has a right to undermine others' interests if it perceives it to be in its own interest. Such attitude can come only through moral bankruptsy, of which I do accuse [or, pity] US. Come to think of it--what morals has US given to the world? None. Rather, it has corrupted world morals. It is on the backing of US that a tiny country of 5 million [Israel] can dare to make a Head of state a prisoner in his own home and make a public declaration that it is its avowed aim to kill him. Just as the master vowed to capture Osama and, Andher Nagri Chaupat Raja style, captured saddam instead, the puppy is barking and biting the civilians in their own territory. Another puppy, the hero of rail and telephone etc. in India [in Rawat's words], is licking the boots of the big brother and smelling, for him, the buried WMD [remember the British study, rvealing the WMD] which was mere plagiarisation of a research thesis written 3-4 years earlier!]. I am sorry if I sound cut up, but, I AM cut up. As doctors, both of us know that there is merit in shock therapy. I am trying to give such therapy to Cynthia, who has lived so far in a protected environment, which encourages the false belief that America is God's own country, Americans are God's own people and American policies are God's own policies, implemented on earth by that neo-shepherd of a bushman. As regards hypocrisy, here is the poem that follows this very title: 3. HYPOCRISY*--705759 –QUATRAIN-- aabb I defend the human rights Let no one challenge my rights My wishes are but my rights Let others forget their rights I defend democracy This is US policy But for countries that remain Dictators may, as well, reign I defend environment As a holy sacrament To be top guzzler of oil Is my right, let none this spoil I defend the equal rights Of Hispanics, blacks and whites But for going to the jail Blacks and Hispanics prevail In US we must have fun Why ban porn and why ban gun Why ban these and wield the axe On major sources of tax? True we are a country great Don't know, why people us hate What if I drop a few bombs I drop also beans and crumbs** People of the world, know thou This is but to behave how Lord, Master, I am for you Forget this, and I get you. * There is a gulf between the views regarding USA held by Americans and the rest of the world. This poem puts this in perspective. **Refers to dropping of yellow food packets containing beans and bread in Afghanistan MC Gupta 6 June 2003 www.writing.com/authors/mcgupta44 ***************************************************** On Sun, 06 Jun 2004 07:16:42 +0530, Dr.T.Vasudevan wrote: > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > To the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that > my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hoping are optimistic. > -Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate >(1875-1965) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ......
