北非大獨裁者拒絕下台 / Strong Man of North Africa Refuses to Step Down


斬草除根軍令迫,手下留情下屬求
勿論政权是与否,民生艱苦令人愁
國泰民安匹夫責,風調雨順要綢繆
莫待騎虎勢難下,硝煙四起落人頭

美國人對別國的民主有著雙重標準扶植獨裁者屢見不鮮加拿大唯美國馬首是瞻加拿大人存在雙重標準不足為奇!

兄台賦詩彈獨裁者卡達菲前可記得2009年加拿大保守黨的總理哈珀讓卡達菲專機在紐芬蘭停留加油呢,兄台是否不是 Tories ?是 liberals or NDP?

In international politics, even those countries that self proclaim now to be "highly principled" have skeletons in their closets if one digs long enough into the past. It will be naïve to believe self-interest is not a key factor in the formulation and implementation of a country's foreign policy - even the Vatican does it, for heaven's sake (pun intended).

The US is just as good/bad as many other countries when it comes to supporting foreign dictatorships and oppressive regimes. Let's not forget the idiom: The pot calling the kettle black 烏鴉笑豬黑,自己不覺得 !! And I will say this to anyone, be they Chinese or Canadians, who think they are snow-white CLEAN !!!

BTW: Here in Canada, participatory democracy means I may agree or disagree with the actions/policies of the government in power, irrespective of whether I voted for or against that party in the last election. Beside, how do you know I didn't vote for the Green Party or even the Communist Party of Canada *_^

我想美國從利比亞得到的利益遠比卡逹菲得到的多,
昨天還多次拜訪,
還多番支持他的統治,
為何今天忽然倒轉槍頭?
變化太快太無情了,
卡逹菲是怎樣的人?
難道美國人今天才知道嗎?
你說可笑不可笑吖?

You are quite right. The US knows exactly whom they have been dealing with. But don't forget, one of the main reasons why the Americans turned around and "supported" Muammar Gaddafi was because of the 911 crisis. They were desperate enough to "believe" that the dictator had "renounced" terrorism and would help the west fight Al-Qaeda.

One could say the Americans worked with Gaddafi with their eyes wide open. It was a desperate gamble, and the "partnership" seems to be for a limited time only.

哈哈哈哈!At least the Chinese Government has/ had never supported the RED Indians/ aboriginals to fight for independency in the US and Canada and take back their land from the colonists the europeans 去干涉別的國家內政。

美國人滿口民主卻去 support 一個一個一個獨裁者貴國的歷屆總理們也學了當鸚鵡唯唯諾諾唯美國馬首是瞻還是早點歸化美國成為第五十二個州吧!(因為英國已經搶了頭做第五十一個 state)哈哈哈哈!

新鮮兄說的正好我沒有想增加了!

Well hari big brother, when you really vote for the 綠黨 or Canadian 共產黨 in your next general election, please let me know I will give you a BIG kiss!

Space Big Bro:

For fear of falling into the 烏鴉笑豬黑,自己不覺得 trap, I better not make comparisons btwn Canada, China, US and other countries. But yes, the aboriginals were here first before the Europeans. And yes, the Canadian Govt did apologize for the treatment of aboriginal children during the Residential Schools period.

As to whether Canada always supports US policies, my answer is: Not always. When Jean Chretien was our Prime Minister, he did not support the US-led Iraq War. When Pierre Trudeau was our Prime Minister, he was regarded by many in the US as a socialist. Currently, the two nations still have issues with the import of Canadian soft-wood lumbers into the US, the best measures to ensure border security without jeopardizing bilateral trade, etc. But as neighbours with a long common border, Canada and US must work closely together to maintain a relationship, not all of which is dependent on Canada's support of US policies.

Last time I checked, the maple leaf is still flying high above Parliament Hill and unlike Hong Kong, we are not SAR of any country !! (This is a friendly jab for calling Canada the 52nd State, hahaha !!!)

As to your generous offer, oh Comrade Space, a BIG HUG would suffice :O

The inner space said...

Well,Jean Chretien and Pierre Trude are/were history respectfully. They are/ were both from Quebec the french canada I have read some of their history they were leaning to the US more times than opposing them.

nOw hari big brother YOU have Steven Harper one of the tories as YOUR PM he is from western canada IF I were not wrong his riding is at Calgary Alberta??? HE speaks more English and little french!

哈哈哈哈哈 your canadian maple leaf as one looked closer one could see an star flag inpaint watermark 水印 on it!

Anyway lets move on the next subject! take care! HUG HUG HUG

humbly yours
