When North Korea launches nuclear tests after nuclear tests
these decades, all the world's politicians can do is to issue
statements like:
"This is an abhorrent act"
"What the North is doing is threatening all of humanity"
"We urge North Korea to return to the 6-party talks in order not to
further destabilise the entire region"
"The country of Japan and the Japanese people will not tolerate
this at all."
"We urge the North to refrain from taking any actions which will
deteriorate the situation".
"North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the
international community."
When the Myanmar junta shot it's own people last Sept and recently
when Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested for some lame reason which was
not her doing, ASEAN and the world issued condemnation statements
like:
"These claims against Aung San Suu Kyi are outrageous" (Hilarious
Rodham Clinton)
"ASEAN, the regional club of nations, expressed "grave concern"
over the trial and said "the honour and the credibility of the
[Burmese government] are at stake."
blah blah blah......
all these govt officials ever do is to make "condemnations", and
then ALL-TALK-NO-ACTION.
WTF?!
and the US always threatens sanctions against Myanmar, and even if
they carry it out, it will only harm the people way more than the
junta.
anyway, back to this N-Korea crap.........these nations can issue
statements of condemnation till end of eternity and they should
have common sense to know that as long as no action is taken, such
"condemnation" are USELESS!!
How many hundreds of sentences of condemnation has our own local
government issued to the press regarding such events?
and in those tragic events, governments of the world love to use
words like "We are deeply saddended and sorry for....." and "It is
unfortunate to hear that...."
My take is.....if no action is possible, then pls shut up and don't
make such tough-talking statements.
Everytime I hear the press use the words like "abhorrent",
"outrageous", "no regards for humanity" or "deeply saddended" blah
blah blah, I cringe non-stop.
My advide to all governments of this world: Stop the hypocrisy and
behave as real governments behave.
And Mr. Obama.....I thought he was a world-changing saint as the
media hyped him up to be, but it's barely 1 year for him in the
White House and he's morphing more and more to become like the
previous presidents, and less and less like the "Yes, we can!
Change will come!" man we got to know and love during the
elections.
In short....politicians = trash, or maybe even, politicians =<
trash.
Let's get real.
You should post this in the speaker's corner instead of
here.
Well, the problem is that these countries complaining really
cannot do anything. If they were to really shoot a missle or attack
North Korea, the next thing they know would be a nuclear bomb on
their own people.
