Dear Du Bois,

If you think my answers are absurd, it is because your questions are absurd. My answers are just like a mirror as it reflects everything back to the strawman and allows him to see the stupidity of his questions.

Your first question: "Is this an article from somewhere on the internet?" Are you alleging that I have copied this article from another writer somewhere on the Internet? If indeed this is what you mean, I am quite flatterred by it and most probably I shall change my job to a newspaper editor. This simple piece of opinion, unfortunately, is not a great masterpiece. It is mine, and it speaks my opinion on the U.S. foreign policy. If you really think this is a masterpiece that has been written by a famous writer, I am really flattered by your allegation. By the way, where on the Internet have you seen this article before? Please show and prove it to me. I really like to have a look at it. If your allegation proves to be true, it is really a case of "Great minds think alike".

Next, in replying to your absurd comment on the analogy of "one person with a dual personality", I have to say that I liken the U.S. and China to two political entities or two governments. This is the common practice of newspapers and political magazines. For example, when a newspaper published a news saying that "Country A (with a population of 300 million) signed a trade agreement with Country B (with a population of 100 million), it meant that "the government of Country A signed a trade agreement with the government of Country B". It did not mean that 300 million people holding 300 million pens signed on a giant piece of paper together with 100 million people holding 100 million pens.

Similarly, when a history book says that "Japan invaded China in the 1930s", it means that the Japanese army invaded the country of China in the 1930s. It does not mean that a non-living piece of land could invade another non-living piece of land.

My whole article was a criticism of the "inconsistency of U.S. foreign policy". Hence I liken the U.S. regime to "the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing" like someone affected with Parkinson's Disease. Please don't twist my article into saying that I allege all the 300 million Americans are having Parkinson's Disease. Please also don't try to deviate from the real argument of my topic to your allegation that my article is not original.


Dear Locke777,

If there are 300 million people in the U.S. government, how can the U.S. reach an agreement with another country? What the U.S. agree with another country today, it will act differently tomorrow. With 300 million voices, the U.S. Congress will turn into a modern-day Tower of Babel. Even if it speaks with one single language, there are still disharmony and plenty of jarring noises around. Then how can the U.S. earn the trust and confidence of other countries if it is so inconsistent and fickle-minded in its foreign policy?
