I have no problem with walking softly and carrying a big stick.<br /><br />Sadly, we are pushing our bravado around and hoping people bow to us just because. This country HAS lost something, and it's not because of our presidents... they're just a reflection of the people.Chuck Ponzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563190232678709911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-63010601448025727512009-11-29T19:29:32.851-08:002009-11-29T19:29:32.851-08:00Rob

I'll give you, Rob, you were not blogging when Nixon and Ike were president, but you were when Bush kissed and held hands with a Saudi prince, and I don't recall a peep from you. You know why Bush held hands and kissed that Saudi prince? Because that is the tradition where the Saudi prince is from, and that is called diplomacy. This bow is tradition as well, and this is diplomacy.

The <i>depth</i> of the bow can be an indication of relative social status, however. What's problematic about this is not the bow--the Emperor is himself giving a polite, short bow--but the deep bow, which is an unmistakeable sign of deference.<br /><br />Likewise for titles. Officially recognized heads of state can be addressed by their title--President Putin, Colonel Gaddafi, President Mugabe--without it being a commentary on their legitimacy. But when you start using honorics or aristocratic titles, however, those carry with them an unspoken validation of the system that awards those titles.<br /><br />That's why it bothers me to no end when Americans, but especially political leaders, use honorifics and non-political titles--"Your Highness", "Your Majesty", Duke Windsor, Sir Elton John, etc. We fought a war where our soldiers died so that we would not have to suffer under a system that treated people differently based on their social class, and when our leaders go right back to subscribing to that system in an ill-advised attempt to curry favor with the international elites, it sickens me.Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-82965801369437174142009-11-18T21:29:50.923-08:002009-11-18T21:29:50.923-08:00Looking at China's king, he doesn't look l...Looking at China's king, he doesn't look like he demands a bow.
