The editorial text in the middle was very entertaining......
So entertaining that I didn't even bother reading the third one.
Why entertaining you ask? Well, just to throw a few points out there.....
Uhm- ever heard of Airbus? As far as I know they are giving Boeing a rough time on some markets..........and they are being flown quite a bit.
Maybe that is not due to a lack of technology but simply due to the intelligent notion not to fly somewhere someone else has already been to, showing that there is not much there worth going for? As for technology- talk ESA and ISS f.e.. Loads of other countries involved right there.
Hm- maybe that is because the countries hit by those earthquakes were third world and needed the help as they can't help themselves- and the US with all it's development etc. should be pretty capable of helping itself?
The Americans are not the only ones racing in many cases. As for Americans in trouble etc.- see point above. Plus- latest example NO. When there werent offers two seconds after desaster hit there was an outrage- when the offers came the response was "no, thanks, we can deal alone"- and in fact help did go there, an example were workers of the THW who helped with the levee probs etc.. As for the earthquake as an example- are we talking 1906 here?? Wow, an example from 100 years ago.....that's pretty recent.
As thankful as my country is and has to be for the assistance back then- I guess noone knew that accepting that help would mean we are forever not allowed to critizise US policies........or is there a hidden timeline?? Critisizm allowed again after....70 years?? Phew only a few more to go!!
Sorry but.......this guy didn't get a number of facts straight (btw.- does he really think radios are the only thing coming out of Japan and cars the only thing coming out of Germany?? He is aware I hope that f.e. the technology that built the first nuke that hit Japan came from German minds to a huge degree, right??)- and sure, others he does get straight but extend them in such a polemic way that the whole thing almost appears like a satire to me.
