I do wonder sometimes, is it better to die in combat with a sword thrust into your guts or a bullet shot into your guts?


Soldiers of the past make war with bows and arrows, swords and spears. You gotta go really up close and personal and hack your enemies to death.

Soldiers of the present make war with howitzers, bombs, machine guns, and rifles. You can be hundreds of metres away and still shoot your enemies to death. Hell, you dun even need to see your enemies' faces as they die in front of you. That ll account for lesser nightmares.


It also makes Generals of the past much more respected and endeared i ll think...leading and fighting your way alongside your men rather than hiding in some air-con bunk. Certainly its a more comforting thought as a soldier knowing your leader is beside you fighting, ready to die if necessary alongside you.

In any case, sometimes it is disturbing to know that in this present age, war is still very much prevalent in the world..an inevitable fact of human life?

President Bush heavily defended his "war" on terror the past 2 weeks, as well as the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, incredbibly suggesting that Americans and people of the world at large including you and me, are safer and more secure as a result of the wars.

Do you seriously believe that? That Americans, and you and I Singaporeans, are safer today?


I dun, and i think its a pile of bullcrap and "reality denial" from Bushy.

How many sons, brothers, fathers, of Iraq and Afghanistan had been killed? And how many more will rise to take the place of those who fall?

When someone bombs your country and kills your father "accidentally" as part of "collateral damage" and in the name of liberation, democracy, and anti-terrorism, do you subscribe to what they say and what will you do in return???

Are American lives supposed to more valuable and worthy than that of Iraqi and Afghan lives? And for that matter, more important than the lives of other nations in the world? What difference is Bush from a terrorist that bombed WTC himself?

If i, as a normal citizen of the world can feel repulsed by what Bushy said, imagine...

Imagine how the people that lost their sons, brothers, and fathers from the American bombings will feel.
