China gave up their little red religious book as the be all and end all of political & economic & religious wisdom. They stopped beating their head agains that stone wall.
Muzzies, after 1400 years still believe that the little green book IS the be all and end all of political, economic & religious wisdom...they're wrong.
Since the Shia and the Sunnis are still killing each other in droves over who is supposed to succeed Mohammed...a death which occurred over 1200 years ago and are still upset over the massacres of the Crusades almost 1000 years ago, apparently they do look back too much.
AND as long as you use a holy book as the sum total of all learning in a culture, you're never going to have the chemists, physcists, engineers, or mathematicians necessary to assimulate today's technology except vicariously.

Harold Rhode, the author of the piece, recently spent several months in China. He has also spent considerable time in the Arab world and in Iran and Afghanistan.

Because they use their left hand instead of paper. Among other traits.

Espec when America = Amerika, + ONLY America = Amerika, is the one suborned under all of these proposed, neo-Socialist OWG "Global Federal Unions" + higher starting in 2015 or ASAP thereafter, while China is NOT under such pressure???
As things stand, China proposed all-Asian "Asian Union" is gonna need mucho more time beyond 2016 - ditto for Russia's = Vladvedev's
"Eurasian Union"???

Why does Barack Obama focus so much on Israel and its struggle with the Arabs?
...Why this fixation on the Arab-Israeli conflict, which ranks only 49th in fatalities since World War II? Because of a strange belief on the Left, rarely stated overtly, that this issue is key not just to the Middle East but to world problems. IMO, Israel's continuous existence is against the theories "cognitive elites" been trained in taught whilst qualifying as cognitive elites. Never discount the contribution of Jew-hatred. Lots of Europeans in the early 20th century thought that eliminating the 'Jewish problem' on their continent was the key to solving their problems.

If Obama and muslims every decide to rejoin human kind in BEING human, it'll be a wonderful day. Til then, I consider them the sworn enemies of all humanity.

The fixation is based on the pointy-headed idea that it's the touchiest single focal point and if they can fix it, everything else will follow.
However this is also applicable:
At least [James L. Jones, then Obama's national security adviser] did not make the outlandish and borderline antisemitic claim that Israel is responsible for all problems in the Middle East; but his milder version of this canard is no less bone-headed. His analysis, sadly, neatly fits the anti-Zionist mentality that increasingly pervades the left wing of the Democratic party
I'd go with 'anti-success' as well, but that's just me.

Chomsky was able to ignore the Soviet Union entirely in his formulations of American imperialism. Look at any US acts during the cold war without the Soviet Union and we do look pretty crazy and militaristic.
The left has done the same with the middle east, turning a blind eye to Arab provocations leaves only an overly militaristic western power doing all sorts of crazy things.
And of course there is that whole western power thing, that's another bugbear of the left.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
