American pacifism in Syria and Billie Jack
fiction
edward w pritchard
Most of us Americans are are a lot like Billie Jack [ actor Tom Laughlin] with our pacifism. We go ballistic and lose our temper when our beliefs are trampled on by the bad guys. The Movie "Billie Jack" captured that characteristic of the American psyche to great financial success in 1973.
It's so hard for us as Americans to mind our own business in the Middle East. Why can't those Muslims just be like us and stop all the ideological sectarianism and just focus on the economic aspects of reality. The harder we push the further and farther they get from America's sphere of influence; until now China has to take the lead in negotiating between hostile parties in the Middle East.
Temper, temper America. Love your enemies; it's a lot harder than it first sounds.
end
writer's confession,
I be like Billie Jack too
