Will the conflict in the Middle East ever end?

NOPE!

I’m not a pessimist but in whole honesty, I don’t think this war will ever stop.

Look at the two sides: At the Right: A NATION WITH MILITARY MIGHT. At the Left: A PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A NATION.

How could both sides find a common ground? The other one thinks it is protecting its State while the other is looking to establish its own State.

This conflict is getting out of hand and has the potential of blowing out of proportions.

The only way for it to end will be to stop foreign intervention. Let’s face it, your so-called allies all have vested interests in this. So why trust them?

I think it would be better for Israel and the Palestinian people to settle this themselves. The United States, EU, Russia, China and other Middle east nations should back off. Let them talk amongst themselves. I have been following the events closely and I don’t see it coming to a close.

The leaders of both sides are playing politics desperately trying to get nations to their sides. Well, its time to change that.

STOP INTERVENING! Let the two sides reconcile their differences.

It short: BACK OFF!

Iran, NOKOR, Iran, NOKOR

The last 2 nations that belonged in what George has described as the AXIS OF EVIL is somewhat begging for a fight.

They are defiant in their rhetoric and is sending the message that the U.S cannot invade them similar to what they did in Iraq.

This is the new world.

WAR OF THE WORLDS to be exact. A rogue Islamic nation together with an isolated Maoist state are challenging the power and might of the world’s last remaining superpower.

What will happen in this action-packed thriller of the century?

This standoff is no different from "Independence Day" or "Superman". A nation fighting the aliens desperately trying to catch the attention of superman.

UNBELIEVABLE. In middle of it all is a common feeling of insecurity and uncertainty.

Get your issues out in the open! JESUS!

I do hope that the leaders of these countries can meet in a group session or something where Dr. Phil can give them a dose of their own medicine.

Iran, NOKOR, Iran, NOKOR . . . ENOUGH ALREADY! 

The Red’s might not be crushed . . .

1 BILLION PESOS TO FIGHT THE COMMIS’ . . .

Are you sure?

This is the same value of military arms sale to the Reds. Do you think it will end the insurgency?

The Queen has spoken. And she wanted the Communists eradicated within 2 years.

HOW?

Through a funding that sounded more like a political campaign.

Is this amount enough to defeat an enemy that has existed over the past 4 administrations? The answer: NO! One of the respected columnists in the Philippines, Max Soliven, suggested of arming the Military and the Police with modern equipments using a budget of 100 billion pesos. His point was focused on giving an arsenal to our protectors way beyond their adversaries. Unfortunately, GMA has only promised 1% of that.

Can’t blame her. The government do not have enough revenues to fight a war. This is a lame excuse though. You see, the security of the state should be one of the President’s top priorities. How could the economy prosper without this? Safety is a key element towards a strong Republic.

Instead of bragging about his and showing might on T.V. Why don’t we just do it? Doesn’t anyone learn from the past? This old tactic of broadcasting what the government will do to crush the rebellion was the catalyst that ended the Marcos regime. Instead of defeating the communist insurgency, it strengthened it.

In order to win a war, we need to destroy the Psyche of our enemies and win the hearts of our fighters and the people we are protecting. Is the government doing this? Have they done anything to win the hearts of their sentinels? How about the people? Have they won the support of the majority?

No amount of money will be enough to win a war. Even if it is 1 Trillion Dollars, it is doomed to fail if we cannot build an atmosphere of trust amongst our men. Can economic development to alleviate poverty help? I don’t think so. In whole honesty, poverty is not what caused the rebellion. It is an innate human nature to get alot of things by not exerting an extra effort. It is our desire to become equals. It is the "ROBIN HOOD MATRA" of spreading wealth.

If we live in this kind of society, then we are doomed. I ask you, are those living below the poverty threshold in the frontlines of the communist insurgency? Have you seen those people living in the squatters area shouting for justice or even equality? I tell you, they are too hungry to fight. 

The only way to win this war is to earn the respect and support of the people. We even don’t need the bombs and the guns to do this. All we need is the desire of the people to resist these hooligans that continuously try to change our way of life in pursuit of a ghost reality. Just imagine, if people are not afraid to come forward and fight, wouldn’t you think that would be stronger that 10 APC tanks?

Just think about it . . .

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS . . .

I haven’t been able to write lately considering how busy I have become. Although, I never fail to catch the events that have transpired around the world lately.

To be more particular, I find Philippine politics so interesting because, IT IS TOTAL NONESENSE!

For the past year as far as I can recall, LEGITIMACY was the question that plagued the GMA administration. Now, it is still the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PATHETIC!

I just have to be honest, why can’t we all just move on? I can no longer fathom the bickering that exists amongst everybody in the government. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. How sad!

Strange enough, the Filipino populace can still tolerate these bed time stories. One way or the other it all just explode at some point. I just hope everyone is ready for it especially the politicians.

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITCS. Don’t you just get tired of it?  

I still miss my OLD MAN . . .

I miss my dad.

Today would have been his 55th Birthday. Memories, memories and memories. I have lots of them actually. Honestly, I am continuously saddened by the fact that he never had the chance to see what me and my sister have become.

He always referred to his family as the pride of his life. I can still recall my mom, my sister and I preparing a present for him on his birthday. After waking up in the morning, we would surprise him with our gifts. Then he would also surprise us by telling us that he had filed a vacation leave so that we could all be together. 

Those were fun times. I miss those happy moments with my dad. 

Now that I am a family man myself, I hope he could be here to see his FIRST GRANDCHILD. My loving wife has always told me that daddy was always watching over us. Just like mommy, I know he would be very excited to see my FIRST BORN!

I really do miss my old man. It has been years but still, the pain still lives on. . .
