US: Fear the good times, the bad times will take care of themselves

In no way my post be seen as anti-America or born out of jealousy of America's success in killing Osama Bin Laden in a daring raid at faraway Pakistan.

It is just that I cannot be swayed by momentary currents to begin looking in tangential directions while the main flow of events is going in a particular downhill direction as I have explained in terms of my four basic forces theory of evolution in the post which has by now become the most popular post of my blog (see top left).


Rather even in actual life the cut is made like in the stock market. A sudden jump upwards and then a deep cut downwards which then goes on and on.

I saw and am seeing it daily in case of India where I am living.

About a year or so ago Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was at the peak of his reputation worldwide.

Beginning with Bush seeing him "Jesus-like" (remember Bush's remark when Manmohan Singh visited America in his time?), everybody praised him to the skies the peak being when about a year or so ago he topped world's ten wisest leaders (http://news.oneindia.in/2010/08/19/manmohan-singh-is-world-s-best-leader-newsweek.html ).

That proved the time for the cut.

And as if by a prophetic vision I simultaneously saw it coming.

Here is the link thttp://www.bigtamasha.blogspot.in/search/label/Manmohan to almost all my posts related to Manmohan Singh on my other, satire blog.

Open it and see for yourself what a fan I am of him before August-September of 2010 (his admiration of being the top world leader came around middle of August) and how I began to sense his drift post this period with my first post "Et tu Manmohan" of September 6, 2010.

Post this he went down and down as my later posts will show. Though because of his personal integrity I never went against him the whole hog.

Cut to America. The post-Osama euphoria can be a warning signal too.

Though I do not see the danger if any coming from outside, it will be from within.

But what is the benefit of such a post you may ask.

The benefit is this. If you know before hand that there is a bend on the road or a steep fall you are prepared, you slow down, you check your brakes, you do not look in other directions except the one in which you are moving.

Applied in practice it may be a time for it to withdraw from other countries, to look within and set the things right in its own borders and within its own people and politics.

It may not be a time to go out, to grow, but to balance and rebalance, physically emotionally, mentally, financially, spiritually.

Of course the greater forces will force whenever and wherever they will, as they seem to be forcing it to be an instrument to dislodge Libyan dictator Gaddafi, but the main wish should be to avoid getting entangled outside of American borders.

And rather than gloat over Osama killing thank God that you were able to do it and that is all. Avoid further challenging statements.


PS: There are two types of possibilities of dangers from within: 1. If American leadership acts wise enough to avoid any ego-fights or ego-based-fights with any community or country as perhaps President Bush did in the case of Saddam Hussein then the danger may only be limited to the difficulty in keeping any secrets (Wikileaks was only part of this grand play as I wrote immediately after at some other site) plus loss of money from financial mismanagements of one kind or the other despite all carefulness. In the ultimate analysis these things will do more good than harm to America, may be spiritually if not apparently materially.
2. But if America is unable to mellow down a little and shed ego-based actions, actions which in general political parlance are often also called in national interest, specially if such actions clearly draw upon the national interests of any other country or community then dangers from within could take more dangerous forms involving even weapons.

I also feel that despite killing Osama bin Laden Barack Obama is the man for the job. He is the man of destiny.
