TEACHING A NEW GENERATION OF BELIZEANS NATIONALISM.

THERE IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM THE USA FOR BELIZEANS, WHICH WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET.

The USA is our friend and trading partner. Sometimes though the NATIONAL INTEREST in the USA is intrepreted in such a way, that Belizeans should know, there are no guarantees to USA friendship.
I speak in reference to the recent speech by State Department, Hilary Clinton. Now the USA professes to support at least in theory ALL countries trying to achieve democracy from tyrants.
Yet as we watch through Al JAZEERA TV and the internet, the ARAB SPRING uprising for democracy systems of government, in places like SYRIA, BAHRAIN, YEMEN, which are ongoing. Being suppressed, by imprisonment, torture and outright murder by FAMILY RUN TYRANNIES.
Yet Hilary Clinton speaking for USA policy, announced that they will be selling $52 million worth of military arms for suppression of local democracy seekers. Though with forked tongue, she spoke of defense against outside threats, as the rational. Which on the internet, is said, to be already protected by the USA 6th FLEET, who I guess, has a major Persian Gulf base in BAHRAIN. Besides BAHRAIN has no outside threat.
There are problems other than democracy seeking masses in BAHRAIN. Besides being a family owned island country, the ruling family tyranny are major puppets for the USA SIXTH FLEET. I can see that would be in the interests of the USA to maintain the status quo, no matter the human rights abuses? Plus the claim is said, that the TYRANT owners of BAHRAIN are SUNNI religion and intermarried with Saudi Arabia and they have family relationships going back centuries as slave traders. On the other hand, the masses of BAHRAIN, the population with no rights, are majority SHIITE, a conflicting branch of their MUSLIM religion.
While I´m not going to get into real politik here. The thing is for Belizeans, to always beware, that in the USA national interest you can get stabbed in the back here in Belize, if it is ever warranted. Most of this older generation in Belize know this already. Perhaps future generations of Belizeans need this awareness. Belizeans are on their own! And need to act accordingly in the Belizean National Interest. I found Hilary Clinton especially hypocritical and demeaning, when she explained USA policy to the murderous family that rules there. It disturbed me greatly to hear this nonsense speech. She would have been better to say nothing at all.
