美國人想錢想瘋了!!!

黑森林

現在美國進駐數千名海軍陸戰隊，協防澳洲，
免費幫菲律賓換裝先進軍武，又跟越南交好。
全世界七具最新進的偵搜雷達，在台灣安裝兩套。
支持日本，舉行二戰以來，規模最大的軍演。
老實說：
局勢就是，美國要加強圍堵中國。

美國在這節骨眼，會拱手將台灣交給中國嗎?
美國人之前不是曾說過嗎?
「大家都別吵，台灣前途，是美國在決定。」
話說回來小國真悲哀，只是強權的棋子。
會做生意又怎樣?
看看腓尼基商人建立的迦太基!!!
下場又如何?
實力才是硬道理，同胞共勉之。

這是紐約時報那位先生的回函, 說明他寫的是政治諷刺文. 而且極為尊重台灣人民.

Dean -

Thanks for taking time to read my piece and consider its points, and though I gather you didn’t enjoy the satirical aspect to it – - it does seem to have stirred healthy debate about the status of Taiwan and her mutual interests with the U.S.

Stirring debate on an otherwise calcified foreign policy topic was the only “intended purpose” of the piece.

I have a huge respect for the people of Taiwan and her brave military forces, and I was not advocating one way or another, only that the subject deserved a “multi-directional” review and discussion.

Most policy writing is literal, and usually, very “in-the-box” and un-original. Most pieces advocate this way, or that way. I did neither. The piece was intended to stir discussion without any preconceived positions of givens or fixed points of departure.

You might re-read The Atlantic’s Jame Fallow’s piece on the mix of serious with facts, irony and Swiftian satire. Satire is not humor or intended as a joke. It is a useful literary technique. Swift never said in his pieces they were satire, but gave tiny nods or hints. That was why I said, most people would consider it impractical and absurd.

But it does seem the piece has succeeded in stirring debate. Always, a healthy thing in any democracy, eh?

Cheers and thanks for reading the piece. – - Paul V. Kane

越戰根本是場實力懸殊的戰爭
打的越久 軍火商賺越多
所以其不求勝
伊拉克也因"毀滅性武器"遭美開刀治療
竟然打了7年(近世紀最長)倒楣的是老百姓
軍火商及美國Halliburton老板
作夢都會笑
