RE: How Taiwan Industrialized Post WWII And Proved The Capitalist Model More Successful Than China's Communist Model
Hum, I guess the quotation marks didn't underline enough the irony of this offer to the Japanese government and its people... Sorry about that. It was almost like a Trojan Horse and a really good test to find out the resulting effect of the doctoral study made, written and offered to them as a way of revitalizing their economy... As it stands right now, the Japanese people, many in villages near the American bases are subjected to "war games" and see themselves loosing land to their military powers and the situation is dire in some cases as I have seen from first hand accounts videos and reports. Namaste :)
We live in a hostile world. Being a peaceful people will not prevent another people from being aggressive towards you. Generally the more peaceful you are the more outside forces will see you as weak. You must always have your military trained and prepared for hostile actions from outside forces.
Take for example the "religion of peace" Islam... You don't have to be hostile towards them in order for them to attack you. You don't have to insult their profit or bomb their homes or have anything to do with them. Simply because you are not one of them, large swaths of their population would have you convert or die.
Remember, If you want peace, prepare for war.
