Red Tent 红帐篷及中东政策之我见

(2007-05-26 12:25:49) 下一个
我读"红帐篷"用了几乎一年。书是2002年得到的圣诞节礼物,开始翻了几页,是说古老的、先世纪的阿拉伯人的故事,觉得离现在太遥远,就放下了。这一放就是一年,直到去年才又拿起来。其实是一本很不错的书。评论说:如果圣经是由女人写的,一定就像这本书一样。有点言过其实,不过这也说明此书值得一看。

当然这不过是篇小说,当不得真的。只是对我这样的懒人来说,没有耐心去读那些学究的历史文献,就只有从这种有故事性的八褂小说里看看世界。

看到后来有点惨不忍睹的感觉,对比此书开始时的温馨,后来的血腥更让我觉得慑目惊心。看了以后的感觉是,阿拉伯世界的历史是血淋淋的历史。那好斗、喋血的民族、及宗教的产生是历史的必然。

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 外交官们 do the talking there.
