Response to: Communism prevented Racism! Posted November 11th, 2007 in Politics

There were many, many cases of racism on the other side of the Iron Curtain. However, there were also cases where the communist regime prevented the ethnic shit barrel from blowing up, as can be seen in post-Tito Yugoslavia, but then again that was mostly due to harsh repression and some clever political trickery here and there.

Meh, I never left the country until my school trip at the tender age of 17. And even then, the days that were supposedly meant to lose my virginity were spent vomiting in the bathroom of a Barilochean hotel due to shitty chocolates and mayo went bad.
Going places is overrated.

I'd say it's partly because, while Colombia's only serious problems are the drug trafficking and the guerrillas (both being closely linked), Lebanon also has to deal with the constant pressure that comes from being in the middle of Syria and Israel. Syria's been claiming Lebanon as its bitch for a while now and every once in a while the Syrians pull some tricks on the Lebanese to keep them in line. Also, Lebanon still hasn't quite healed from its 15-years long civil war, which was pretty much an all-out carnage between Christians, Sunni Muslims and Shi'a Muslims (and the Druze, caught in the middle of everything), each side backed by a complex mix of Soviets, Israelis, Lybians, Iraqis, Palestinians, Egyptians, western communists and Belgians. Since the civil war was mostly sparked from the religious/ethnic differences (a problem that Colombia doesn't have), they've got a pretty weird form of democracy now: The Lebanese goverment must always be comprised of a proportionate amount of Christians, Shi'a Muslims, Sunni Muslims and other smaller sects. When you divide each religious group into their own political left-wing/right-wing divisions plus how pro-Arab, pro-West, pro-Syria or pro-US they are, and all the possible combinations of the above, you get a pretty difficult parliament to get things done in. They can't agree on mostly anything and much less on their stance on Hizbullah, even though they're for the most part against it. Still, they've got an underfunded military and a fragmented nation so it's hard to crack down on them.

The funniest thing about this all is that Lebanon is still one of the most suscessful nations in the Middle East.

Response to: Hiroshima & Nagasaki,worst atrocity Posted November 9th, 2007 in Politics

I'm not American and I'm no fan of the A-bomb droppings. But I definitely wouldn't say that Americans feel "no remorse at all" for it.
I've seen Americans feel bad about the A-bomb. But I've never seen a Japanese person feel bad about Unit 731. Maybe a half-assed apology, but never actual remorse. Same thing with the Nanking massacre, the Changjiao massacre, the Sook Ching massacre, the Manila massacre, the Korean sex slaves, the torture and killing of POWs (which happened in pretty much all sides during WWII, but nowhere as widespread as in Japan), et cetera.

Hizbullah isn't the government's party. While the Lebanese government may be put to blame for not dealing with 'bullah properly, the guys with the AKs aren't running the country. A democracy can be functional in most levels and still have a bunch of crazy people with guns running around. In fact, I'd dare to estimate that more than half of the democracies in today's world have one or two crazy armed groups, it's just that in most cases they're too small to have a significant impact on the big picture.
A democracy doesn't cease to be so for having a group of gun-toting psychos around. It's just that it's usually not an extremely good democracy if there's a group of gun-toting psychos around.

That being said, it's almost impossible for a country to turn into a decent democracy without stumbling into one or two of these groups, particularly when they're just stepping out of a long-ranging tradition of civil war, colonialism, racial/religious tensions and general bad stuff as is the case with Lebanon. They've got some serious shit to sort out, give the guys a break. "The guys" being Lebanon, that is, not Hizbullah.

But, you know, the animists have the power of voodoo and big-ass totems and those ghost-like thingies that you see in the movies when an old man is making a fire. And they're, like, witches and stuff and wear hats and wands and make ritual sacrifices and Harry Potter and shit. And they have cauldrons and they make superpower potions and all.

Meanwhile, the Muslims do the whirlie. And they get angry at women who were raped too I guess.
