评论：南京大学教授称大学校长已官员化不再是教育家 http://news.xinhuanet.com/edu/2008-10/20/content_10221878.htm

我就喜欢中国人思想多样化。在中国,爱说虚话的人很多，但是能说实话的人也不少，只是后者不愿意说而已。其实，他们的机会也不多。有幸就会碰到几个，而且不是激进分子或者幼稚或者受到国外思想的影响，而是实实在在，有智慧，有良知的中国人。

在以上报道中，这位古来稀之年的老教授就探讨了中国教育比较深层次的问题。谁不知道这个问题的存在？谁管这个问题的解决？谁感打破砂锅问到底谁该为这些问题负责？与可接受的高尚社会道德、教育道德水准相比，我们应算是生活在教育道德地狱时代了。

Bush’s visit to Africa:  Postscript diplomacy

 By Dr.Maurice GOUNTIN

 (THIS IS AN ARTICLE WRITTEN IN MARCH 2008, BUT STILL READABLE FOR THE VALUE OF ITS CONTENT)

Africa has never been a US foreign diplomacy priority so while President George W Bush’s recent visit to the continent raised the attention of the international media the sudden interest in Africa aroused only suspicion of the international community, particularly in the African states that have for so long been neglected. To the people in the nations visited, the trip seems like an afterthought.

From 2001, the Bush administration focused on the fight against terrorism and the hunt for oil and the clear proof of this is the US attacks on Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq. The US has also been taking note of the rise of China and its interest in Africa as a threat to American world super power status. When the Sino-Africa forum was held in Beijing in November, 2006, it made the old European powers in Africa nervous, but it also raised the level of US interest in Africa.

It was just three months later that the US Department of Defense announced the creation of a new US Africa Command infrastructure (AFRICOM) to “coordinate all US military and security interests throughout the continent”. AFRICOM is due to come into being by September and the speed at which it is being realised and the military-driven engagement with Africa reflects the Bush administration’s desperation to control the increasingly strategic natural resources on the African continent, especially oil, gas, and uranium.

AFRICOM is also seen as an attempt to counter the growing influence of China in the resources-rich Gulf of Guinea and secure the strategic resources for the US. Nigeria is already the fifth largest exporter of oil to the United States and Liberia is interested in the AFRICOM initiative but all US attempts to convince other African nations to get on board have only met with opposition. This is because there has been little sustained US attention to the region.

Mr Bush’s first visit to Africa in July, 2003, took him to Senegal, South Africa, Botswana, Uganda and Nigeria. It was part of a campaign to gain these countries’ support for the invasion of Iraq, and was recognition of their influence on their respective sub-regions. But his recent visit to Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Liberia and Ghana doesn’t show any particular strategic interest in the nations visited. These countries are the least important in the US diplomatic agenda, are poor in resources and don’t have any particular relations with China. But they do share common characteristics in terms of relative stability and certain democratic norms.

Since the US invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration has not been seen positively among Africans so to rescue his country’s and his personal reputation on the continent, Mr Bush decided to visit its less strategic countries. It was an effort to show that apart from the war against terrorism and the hunt for oil, the US also cared about democracy, AIDS, and poverty eradication in the poorest countries in the world. But it was not until almost the end of his days in the White House that he sought to do this.

If terrorism and oil are the main themes of the Bush presidency, his recent visit to Africa qualifies as a postscript at the end of a letter. Poor countries in Africa have almost been forgotten in the US diplomatic agenda, but through this “postscript diplomacy”, Mr Bush may just have saved his image among the continent’s neglected countries.

评论：美国将曼德拉从“恐怖分子名单”中删除http://news3.xinhuanet.com/photo/2008-06/28/content_8454982.htm

美国！说怪就是怪。怎么可能把曼德拉的名字一直留于恐怖分子的名单上！

曼德拉，我们都了解他，世界人都认可他的伟大斗争事业。我本人看了不少关于他的书，也知道，上个世纪1994年以前，在南非种族隔离历史发展的不同阶段，某些西方国家如英、美等国曾经支持了南非白人政权的政策并且以双重标准对待包括曼德拉为领导反对种族隔离的南非黑人运动。但是我万万没有想到至今曼德拉的名字一直留在美国定为恐怖分子的名单上。美国的这个态度绝对是国际玩笑。

如今美国终于主动把曼德拉的名字从该黑名单上删除，虽然其意义不是很大，但至少可以说是个积极的行动。在人们的心目中，曼德拉从来与恐怖分子没有什么关系。对他的负面的评价绝对是个政治误会。

不管怎么讲，今天的曼德拉已经不是一个名字的概念了而是“毅力、斗争、希望、解放、和平共处”等概念的同义词。美国把他的名字从黑名单上删除掉，我们也无所谓。

在曼德拉过９０岁的高龄生日之际，

我衷心祝愿

曼德拉爷爷，

富如东海长流水，

寿比南山不老松。

评论：马屁都拍绝了！史上最牛的面试http://news3.xinhuanet.com/forum/2008-06/14/content_8362275.htm

以上说的是最牛的面试，其实在我看来，这里的求职人的话已经离谱了。相信在现实生活中，不能出现这样的话语或情况。

在今天的中国，很多人就靠拍马屁来维持生活，不拍马屁他们就死定了，或者说，他们的生活就没有意义了。

我认为拍马屁或谁的屁，有时是有必要的，要不就根本没法沟通，但是拍拍也不能太直接、直白，得有学问，要不马就反感了。马人或人马一反感，拍马屁只能起到反效果。因此，尺寸非常重要！
