TEAM U.S.A

August 25, 2006

Dream team 1 was the strongest basketball team ever formed in the history of mankind. It was composed of legends. International basketball was never the same since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

14 Years later, the world has changed. Now, the United States are no longer feared. People soon realized, their athletes, were also human.

Dwayne, Lebron, Melo . . . Doesn't have the charisma of Magic, Bird and Jordan. NOT YET. But they are considered to be the future of the sport.  

Watching the tournament unfold, US basketball supremacy is now a thing of the past. Everyone has caught up with them and their superiority has been severely challenged.

The game has evolved. Or should I say, the business color has overshadowed the love of the game. It would appear that the league has failed to develop their own homegrown talents. 

Oh well. The NBA tried to please everyone in the globe. Now, they have to face facts.

They are no longer invincible . . .

TEAM U.S.A, no longer a dream.

Dreaming of Peace . . .

A ceasefire?

NAH! The Middle East is on the brink of chaos. There is violence everywhere. I am even suprised that  war hasn't erupted yet between Iran, Syria and Israel.

The battle rages on despite international calls for the cessation of violence.

One question: Everyone has chipped in to end the hostilities in Lebanon. But what about Iraq?

Oh well . . . That's global politics for you. Never dream of being stuck in the middle of the Euro-American Conflict. It's a deadly game.

Dreaming of peace . . .  

Will the virus spread?

Hatred is a virus that can spread throughout the region.

Yes, this is reality.

The war in the Middle East has brought the region back 20 years ago. Although, let's face it: Little progress has been made through the decades.

The reason for this is hatred. Muslims hates the Jews. The Jews are fighting for their existence. The international community continuously intervene. And so on and so on . . .

Vis-a-vis, nothing has changed.

Everything boils down to hatred.

I don't think it will end. As long as nations insist that they have enemies regional security will be a dream up until a meteorite strikes the earth.

This is the global virus that plagues all of us.

It will just be a matter of time before we all destroy each other and realize that the cure is genocide . . .

HOW SAD!
