September 11th
Today is September 11th. 5 years ago terrorists of Bin Laden connection hijacked commercial planes and collided headon onto the twin towers of World Trade center in New York. The hideous act sadden and angered American People and peoples all over the world. 5 years quickly gone by, but the world is not any better. Hate still grips human soul on our planet. We see it’s eruptions everywhere. There is an unjustifiable demomstration in Taipei at this moment which started on September 9th on and off from 9 am to 5 pm. The aim is to force Taiwan’s duely elected President Chen to step down. It’s root has been sprung from hatred of the Chinese Nationalist Party(KMT) that lost it’s power having lost presidential elections in 2000 and 2004. There has been no rest at all to hinder normal function of the new government. In view of the new election will be held in 2008, KMT has written up senarios to wrest power from the pro independent Taiwan DPP(Democratic Progressive Party). First, the KMT struck up friendship with it’s former arch enemy, Communist Party of China. Then a continued smear campaign was lounched. After an unsuccessful recalling of the president failed called by the KMT and other pro unifications factions in the Legistrative House, a dummy leader is pushed forward now to orchestrate a “people’s movement” which is not unlike China’s Cultural Revelution led by Red Gurds. In fact, the campaign specified the participants to wear red shirts and had chosen September 9th to commence the sitin in front of the President Office Building. September 9th this year was the 30th memorial for China’s late leader Mao. Some suspected that there is some notion of violence to incite great disturbance which will give China a pretext for invasive action. Fortunately, the President and the government are bending themselves backward to be patient. From 9th when the sitin demonstration began, heavy rains pored down and scattered most of the people. Bad weather will last for more than a week and there is a new typhoon being formed to threat the island, according to the weather casters.
