US is the biggest evil of them all

Taking a break from studying, I surfed asiaone.com and one of the headlines read "China warns US to forgo arms sales to Taiwan". US, US, US. They are poking their noses into everything and anything, and if there is really a so-called axis of evil, the US must the biggest of them all!

Taiwan straits

The world wants peace at the Taiwan straits, for the greater stability and sustained economic growth in East Asia. Personally, I don't take sides with either, but any US$16 billion arms sales to Taiwan is almost certain to increase cross straits tension and spark a possible arms race. I seriously think the US has a split personality, split diplomatic stands. Support one China, tries to sell arms to Taiwan for $$, bounded by law to defend Taiwan in any conflict.

Middle East

Thanks to US, the whole middle east is in a mess now. Aghanistan is a forgotten war-torn land, with capture of Osama bin Laden nowhere in the foreseeble future. Iraq is a land of violence and disunity, between the Shi'ites and Sunnis, and US is suffering casualties by the day, good luck and so much for unilateral action to go into Iraq for WMD only to find nothing. How about US being uncritical about Israel's disproportionate strike of Lebanon to save a few captured soldiers? I read on news that the Israelis actually used a new biological weapons against the Lebaneses and no action has been taken them at all. And the constant violation of no-fly zone now that UN forces are in Lebanon, I think they are so disregarding the international community in no small part due to Big Brother's support.

Nuclear non-proliferation

So much for taking Iran and North Korea to task for their quest for nuclear weapons. Read from Today, that signatories of nuclear non-proliferation act are supposed to cut down on their arsenal of nuclear weapons, eventually eliminating nuclear weapons. But obviously they aren't fulfilling their part of the deal. I don't support N.Korea and Iran to possess nuclear weapons, but the point is, if the nuclear powers aren't cutting their own nuclear weapons, they have no moral high ground to point fingers!

Kyoto Treaty

Uh huh! Who's the world's biggest producer of greenhouse gases? US! And guess who pulled out of the Kyoto Treaty? (No prizes, though) And for reasons that ratifying the treaty and keeping to emission requirements will affect US's economy and jobs. Bravo!

Free Trade

My foot. You really believe in US's call for free trade? They are pointing fingers at developing countries for stealing manufacturing jobs, making US workers lose their competivity. Yet, they go around negotiating so-called free trade agreements with no regard for their locals (See Korean rice farmers) How about the erection of taxes against China goods to address their trade imbalance? Oh pls, even idiots know that trade imbalance is inevitable. Revalueing the Yuan isn't going to solve the problem. It is a fundamental problem of high demands for cheaper goods by the US itself.
