強調一下，這裡的美國人包括美籍華人，甚至包括想長期生活在美的華人，如果要你選，你到底該選誰呢？ 目前，兩個候選人最大的不同政治觀點就是繼續戰爭（麥凱恩）還是立即和平（奧巴馬）。談別的，都TM的扯淡！ 戰爭就意味着消耗。正如我以前舉的例子，一發炮彈就足夠一普通人家吃一年的。瞬時功夫，一家人的口糧頓時化為灰燼。911之後，美國經濟不振，生活質量下降，罪魁禍首很大程度上就是戰爭！ 在一個相對短的時段，我們假定，單位時間人類創造出財富的量是個常數。那麼，突然間製造大量極其貴重的殺人武器，突然間又讓其象放煙花一樣消失，等價於單位時間人類創造出的財富的突然間的大量減少。大量人力物力不用於生產，而是用於破壞，那麼，經濟怎麼會振，生活怎麼會質量提高呢？這甚至比中國的目前貪污腐敗還糟！貪污腐敗只能讓財富轉移，而不會讓財富消失！這就解釋了為什麼中國目前這麼多貪官，經濟卻仍然快速增長，而美國呢，就不說了。當然，從所謂“愛國角度”說，貪污腐敗官僚的偷渡，另當別論。關於中國經濟，不是此文要談的。 這時，有人會說了，美國用的炸彈都是在倉庫里存了多年的，沒用的，所以拿出來放放，就能刺激經濟。美國政客們不傻，我們在美華人不用操心。很遺憾，我也很想真的是這樣，可是終究這是真的嗎？庫存的炸彈放了是不是就不再造了呢？911發生在2001年9月11日，到現在都快7年了，怎麼沒見到經濟被刺激起來呢？很失望，是不是？我想問一問你，一個人一輩子有幾個7年？等到你活到第十個7年上才覺到有被刺激起來的高潮？注意了，這裡的高潮是指經濟高潮，別亂想啊！如果你希望這樣，你就選麥凱恩吧！ 那麼，美國人為什麼會支持弱智的布什打仗呢？從心理學角度說，那就是面子。有時，面子比錢還重要。現在都明白了，叫“死要面子活受罪”，活該啊！BTW, 要面子，其潛意識便是自卑。有人說，打仗是為了油，我就覺得怪了呢，怎麼越打仗，油價越高了呢？不要跟我說，10年以後還會降下來！小布什他爹老布什是個當兵的，1990年打伊拉克還沒過癮，就被克林頓整下了台，意猶未盡，覺得氣沒消平，不行，有機會一定再教訓伊拉克這幫狗日的。哎，真是老天有眼啊，由於克里這個傻逼的無能，兒子小布什又榮登寶座。你說，兒子怎麼會不替老子出這口氣？BTW，我就搞不明白，民主黨怎麼當時會讓克里這個傻逼當候選人了呢？那麼，麥凱恩呢？也是個當兵的。當兵的，一不打仗了，手就痒痒。注意了，我可不是歧視當兵的啊，有時這種秉性也是很有用的！ 鑑於此，如果你是個不是象豬一樣笨的美國人，你應該知道應該選誰了吧？然而，凡事都有兩方面。如果你是個心向中國的人，即所謂“身在曹營心在漢”的人，那就選麥凱恩吧，這是因為麥凱恩這樣的人當了美國總統必然危害美國人的利益，那誰賺便宜啊？這還用問嗎？當然是其目前的最大對手了。注意，我這裡用了“必然”一詞。 最後，推薦一下一美國人最近寫的文章吧。前半段是“臨淵慕魚”，後半段是想“退而結網”。注意，主要看後半段。 Friedman: Chinese Games showed America that nation-building starts at home Thomas Friedman The New York Times Article Last Updated: 08/27/2008 06:59:51 PM MDT After attending the spectacular closing ceremony at the Beijing Olympics and feeling the vibrations from hundreds of Chinese drummers pulsating in my chest, I was tempted to conclude two things: ''Holy mackerel, the energy coming out of this country is unrivaled.'' And, two: ''We are so cooked. Start teaching your kids Mandarin.'' However, I've learned over the years not to over-interpret any two-week event. Olympics don't change history. They are mere snapshots - a country posing in its Sunday best for all the world too see. But, as snapshots go, the one China presented through the Olympics was enormously powerful - and it's one that Americans need to reflect upon this election season. China did not build the magnificent $43 billion infrastructure for these games, or put on the unparalleled opening and closing ceremonies, simply by the dumb luck of discovering oil. No, it was the culmination of seven years of national investment, planning, concentrated state power, national mobilization and hard work. Seven years . . . Seven years . . . Oh, that's right. China was awarded these Olympic Games on July 13, 2001 - just two months before 9/11. As I sat in my seat at the Bird's Nest, watching thousands of Chinese dancers, drummers, singers and acrobats on stilts perform their magic at the closing ceremony, I couldn't help but reflect on how China and America have spent the last seven years: Advertisement China has been preparing for the Olympics; we've been preparing for al-Qaida. They've been building better stadiums, subways, airports, roads and parks. And we've been building better metal detectors, armored Humvees and pilotless drones. The difference is starting to show. Just compare arriving at La Guardia's dumpy terminal in New York City and driving through the crumbling infrastructure into Manhattan with arriving at Shanghai's sleek airport and taking the 220-mph magnetic levitation train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion instead of steel wheels and tracks, to get to town in a blink. Then ask yourself: Who is living in the Third World country? Yes, if you drive an hour out of Beijing, you meet the vast dirt-poor third world of China. But here's what's new: The rich parts of China, the modern parts of Beijing or Shanghai or Dalian, are now more state of the art than rich America. The buildings are architecturally more interesting, the wireless networks more sophisticated, the roads and trains more efficient and nicer. And, I repeat, they did not get all this by discovering oil. They got it by digging inside themselves. I realize the differences: We were attacked on 9/11; they were not. We have real enemies; theirs are small and mostly domestic. We had to respond to 9/11 at least by eliminating the al-Qaida base in Afghanistan and investing in tighter homeland security. They could avoid foreign entanglements. Trying to build democracy in Iraq, though, which I supported, was a war of choice and is unlikely to ever produce anything equal to its huge price tag. But the first rule of holes is that when you're in one, stop digging. When you see how much modern infrastructure has been built in China since 2001, under the banner of the Olympics, and you see how much infrastructure has been postponed in America since 2001, under the banner of the war on terrorism, it's clear that the next seven years need to be devoted to nation-building in America. We need to finish our business in Iraq and Afghanistan as quickly as possible, which is why it is a travesty that the Iraqi parliament has gone on vacation while 130,000 U.S. troops are standing guard. We can no longer afford to postpone our nation-building while Iraqis squabble over whether to do theirs. A lot of people are now advising Barack Obama to get dirty with John McCain. Sure, fight fire with fire. That's necessary, but it is not sufficient. Obama got this far because many voters projected onto him that he could be the leader of an American renewal. They know we need nation-building at home now - not in Iraq, not in Afghanistan, not in Georgia, but in America. Obama cannot lose that theme. He cannot let Republicans make this election about who is tough enough to stand up to Russia or bin Laden. It has to be about who is strong enough, focused enough, creative enough and unifying enough to get Americans to rebuild America. The next president can have all the foreign affairs experience in the world, but it will be useless, utterly useless, if we, as a country, are weak. Obama is more right than he knows when he proclaims that this is ''our'' moment, this is ''our'' time. But it is our time to get back to work on the only home we have, our time for nation-building in America. I never want to tell my girls - and I'm sure Obama feels the same about his - that they have to go to China to see the future. Just compare arriving at La Guardia's dumpy terminal in New York City and driving through the crumbling infrastructure into Manhattan with arriving at Shanghai's sleek airport and taking the 220-mph magnetic levitation train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion instead of steel wheels and tracks, to get to town in a blink. Then ask yourself: Who is living in the Third World country?
