            Bush's Logic and IFCSS's Independency

                       Jinghong Li

Like several netters pointed out, President Bush seems having some
logical problems with his "New World Order".

In a considerably short period of time, he has not only broken a longtime
US Administrative policy on weapon sales to Taiwan, but started a
some how maniacal new round of "balancing" game:  in order to balance
the F-16 Fighters to Taiwan, he re-opened high-tech military equipment
sales to China which was band by himself after the 6.4 Massacre;  in
order to balance the the newest F-15 sales to Sodian, it is expected
he will have to make the Isreal happy soon - as he has promised
on the same day.

What a wonderful and balanced "New World Order".

Let's put the argues behind, he surely has 1001+ reasons to do what
he's done :-) .  What important to you and me is: this "balanced
New World" is a little different from the previous one - it is
now "balanced" on a HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL.  In another word, we are
now living in a more dangerous world, literarily.

Doesn't President Bush know this, or don't his advisors know this ?
Of course he/they did and still do.  Then the question comes: Why
he still did, and are still doing so ?

Well, you know it just like I do - For the Damn Re-election.

The sales have little to do with the "New World Order" nor to the bad
economy, but a lot to do with the presidential election.  From the waves
of mass salings, it is hard not conclude that Bush is ready to do anything
to get re-elected.

Well, maybe I should not blame him.  After all, if he lose the election,
no matter how wonderful the "new world order" could be, it will only
be a "lips serve" by then. :-)

However, what worrys me more among others is that some of the
"Bush-China-Policy" supporters seems still not weaken up by the new
series of actions, or probably are confused.  The US Congress has
long been criticized for being self-interested when things come to MFN
and pressure on Chinese government.  Well, I have no intention in
arguing on the meaningness of this extreme and often "partisonized"
point of view.  My sincere question, or a reminder if you will, to
my friends is:  isn't President Bush the same, if no worse ?

I did not quite understand how the IFCSS independent issue got
involved in this mass :-) .  But seems to me, a more logical way of
thinking should be to consider the Bush administration policy
separately from the US Congress business - they are totally different.
If one blames Bush's strange behaviors on US Congress, things
are surely going to get more and more confused, if not funnier.

IMHO, IFCSS should try every thing possible to keep its independency
and stand firmly on its basical principles.  We can all help it to
work and cooperate with other organizations, Parties on an issue-oriented
bases.  Maybe on some occasions IFCSS had appeared closer to one Party
and sort of against another, many CCS's criticisms and concerns should
be taken into consideration seriously.  On the other hand, it is
my sincere hope that the "other side" :-) , meaning those who some
times hold different opinions or positions on important issues, try
not to be used by "others" as well.  Keep in this in mind, I doubt
that there is anything we can not work together for our own
- the CSS in US - interests in the long run ?

Sincerely

Speaking for and only for myself
