Law, Country and Great Men

Suleiman I

"All cultures have heroes, America should not pick heroes for them." -- By Elizabeth Su Law, Country and Great Men Comparison of Two Ancient Civilizations Facing the American Challenge There are two other civilizations that President Bush should be aware of, and honor their rule of law, in order to make peace with the people and the civilization. We are passers by on the earth, and all civilizations are to co-exist with incremental benefits from the advancement of technology and collective human wisdom. Suleiman I was a strong man in exerting the rule of law for an empire of the Turks, in the Arab world. In China during the Warring States era, people were in desperate need of social order and the rule of law, and philosopher Zhou Yan was in practice. Zhou Yan, 305 -240 B.C., Warring States late period, representative of the Yin Yang philosophy school. 鄒衍（約305BC－240BC），戰國晚期人, 陰陽家的代表人物. Great Chinese Saint of Literature giant Tang dynasty 李白 Li Bai on Zhou Yan Zhou Yan valley

鄒衍谷

燕谷無暖氣。窮岩閉嚴陰。

鄒子一吹律。能回天地心。

Translation:

In the Yan country valley

There is no warm air The bleak cliff is closed minded

But with Master Zhou Yan’s advocating law

He can get back the heart from heaven and earth

Li Bai is to say that in the unruly country where there is no human warmth, if some saint can articulate the natural law, then the returning of best capacity stored in heaven and earth is emphatically possible.

So is the Magnificent Suleiman I, and the just rule for the empire of Turkey, so that no commotion and riots can arise to disturb the peace and stability of a nation. When a country is derelict, the rats run amok and rampant chaos causes a treacherous environment. China’s Yin Yang Law and National Stability Zhou Yan’s Political Theorem Rule of Law applies to every country for its stability. Every dynasty or ruling force is by 5 elements. We are bound, within our own realm, and can not administer another country with our own ruling system. British ruled China, oppressing the people with economic aggression from the 1842 Nanjing Treaty, throughout invasions in the 1860s and 1900s. It was stopped in 1927 by the ROC foreign minister, the abolishment of the first unequal treaty in China. After the 1894 war against China and 1905 war against Russia, the Japanese were emboldened, and launched a half of century of invasion, until it was terminated by atomic bombs in 1945. The Tsar rivaled with Japan in its dominance of Asian supremacy and ended in losing in 1904. America profited from the ROC in World War II and capped its fate by an immoral Treaty Yalta, and without helping ROC to rebuild, this tilted the balance in the favor of communism and with Japan as the ally to counter it from the 1940s until today. The ROC helped to contain Japan so that the Russians could be free to fight in Leningrad and the Nazi advanced was stopped. ROC stopped Japan from forming a united front with Germany, and spared the Middle East from warfare. Russia was never invaded by Japan in Asia because of China’s containment and sacrifice; we know it was because of 90% Nationalist effort. ----------------------------- Turkey Empire and the Rule of Law Applied by Suleiman Arabic Leader and Law for the Empire A nation must have its own rule of law and hence, in search of the social anchor force. America with its good intention will not succeed as the law which can bind the culture together. America can encourage an environment which breeds a new wave of innovation from the social structure within. Suleiman I (1494-1566) Sultan of the Turkish Empire. Distinguished in Turkish history as "The Lawyer" and in European history as "The Magnificent," he improved the status of Christians in domains and set up a new and better system of laws to govern a widely extended empire. He won himself immortality as a legislator. Suleiman I (Modern Turkish: Süleyman; Arabic: سليمان Sulaymān) (November 6, 1494-September 5/6, 1566), was the tenth Osmanli sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and its longest-serving, reigning from 1520 to 1566. Under his leadership, the Ottoman Empire reached its zenith and became a world power, and Suleiman was considered one of the preeminent rulers of 16th-century Europe, a respected rival to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I of France, Henry VIII of England, and Sigismund II of Poland. He personally led Ottoman armies to conquer Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary, besieged Vienna, and annexed huge territories of North Africa as far west as Morocco and most of the Middle East. Briefly, Ottomans achieved naval dominance in the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and Persian Gulf, and the empire continued to expand for a century after his death. Within the empire, Suleiman was known as a fair ruler and opponent of corruption. He was a great patron of artists and philosophers, and was noted as one of the greatest Islamic poets, as well as an accomplished goldsmith. He is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent and in the Islamic world as the Lawgiver (in Turkish Kanuni; Arabic: القانونى, al-Qānūnī), a nickname stemming from his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system.
