And thanks for including Teamasters in it!<BR/><BR/>I also appretiate your humble position not to write about the complex situation in the Middle East. That's a wise thing to do on such a passionate issue. I recently came accross earth.google.com It's a great way to fly over the earth. You can then also see how small Israel is. But even this map must be taken with caution: it has a pro-palestinian bias (Arab villages are mostly mentioned, but jewish ones not always: I couldn't find the kibbutz I worked for in 1993, but all the arab villages around were mentioned). Still, it's fascinating.TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1125103500382422952005-08-27T08:45:00.000+08:002005-08-27T08:45:00.000+08:00You talked about KMT's Ma and concluded that "Taiw...You talked about KMT's Ma and concluded that "Taiwan needs healing".<BR/><BR/>I agree, but don't you see.... <BR/>to heal, a person needs to acknowledge the damage and then endeavors to get to the root cause of it. Most Taiwanese, IMHO, are too busy to bother with this serious soul searching. <BR/><BR/>When forced to examine their past history and identity, they like to hide behind the sugar sweet philosophy of "let's all get along, let by gone be by gone". KMT and Waishengren very cleverly manipulated Taiwanese with this scheme. And I hate to admit this brain washing tactic still works wonders in Taiwan today.<BR/><BR/>To be truly free, Taiwanese can't merely stop at freeing themselves of the KMT old guard's physical rule. They have to go one step further, to fully comprehend where they were and how not to go back again. An enslaved mind dreads total freedom and independence. Without this soul searching step, Taiwan's newly gained liberty and democracy could evaporate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1125023270110351992005-08-26T10:27:00.000+08:002005-08-26T10:27:00.000+08:00Did not!
