War

I've never like war. Even when I was young, yet to understand the full impact of it, I've never like the idea of it. You see, I emphatize with people easily. So, whenever there are reports of war, and the victims and hardship of those who have to bear the brunt of the war, I emphatize with them. I feel their pain, their burden. Even though I do not understand war at that time.

I know it sounds weird, but that's me. I've always been some sort of weirdo since young. Not the really 'weird' weirdo but in a good way, if there is any. ;)

Anyway, I was reading yesterday's and today's newspaper when updates of the post-war in Iraq catches my attention. Yesterday's newspaper reported that a marine soldier was beheaded by the same militants that had beheaded the past 2 hostages that they had captured. The marine soldier was a Lebanese serving the American government. One would thought that the militants would spare his life considering that he was also an Arab and a Muslim. Alas, the militants are just waiting to wash their hands with more blood and proceeded to behead him. There were no big ho-hah news on this piece like all the attention the media lavish onto the kidnapping and beheading of an American, Paul Johnson (I think) and South Korean, Kim Sun-Il (I think so too, can't remember all the names).

Maybe the international media have smarten up and decided not to give too much attention to the militants. One newspaper reader, wrote and suggest that the media might be playing into the miliants' hand, because what the militants want after all are attention. But with the beheading of the marine soldier (he's the second one it seems), and the promise of the militants that there are more to come, perhaps the earlier rumours and fears about the missing foreigners are true. How many more beheading are going to happen? How many more innocent lives will be sacrificed before the UN do something about it? Or for the matter, anybody who has the power to do so?

Do we really want to sit around and wait for more news about beheading? Right now, nobody is doing much save for sitting around. Why so? Because it did not happen to people they know. Those who are dead, they are just names to them. People only start petitioning and taking action when the unexpected happened to them. Why do we, as human beings, act as such jerks and bastards and not do anything about it? Why are we so lazy that we didn't want to take any action to curb the problem before it gets even worse? WHY?!

First things first. All this is the effect of a single cause. ANd the cause? When that bastard Osama bin Laden decided to use his terrorists to destroy the World Trade Centre and when that ass of a President, George Bush decided to retaliate by going to war. He didn't even weigh all the pros and cons properly before he decided to go to war. No doubt there will be pressure for those around him, but he can't even fucking decide by himself. He seems more like a puppet who are control by the Ministers around him. A monkey who's fond of putting his leg into his mouth. >< In other words, he is just a big loud donkey who happens to have a really large ass!

Save from sounding like a Miss World candidate, whatever happened to world peace?!
