I think I have been trying to avoid the issues of terrorism, trying so hard not to mention all the blasts and hostage takings in my blog but I can't stand it anymore! Seems like papers are just splattered with so much bloodied news. Russia has just shown the classic example of sacrificing a few to save the many. I suppose they were taking a huge chance but at least they used sleeping gas to attempt to knock out the terrorists. But then again, it would have affected the hostages' chances of escaping if they were knocked out by the gas. Quite a tragic irony. And it is even worse to see how few terrorists were killed and more innocent lives were lost. Then again, this should not be measured against the loss of many more lives in Chechnya where the bloody war goes on. It's scary to see how so many terrorists of the same race suddenly surface within a few months. Now the last thing I hope to hear is an attack here. My mum told me to avoid the esplanade.Hell no! I'm not gona throw away my freaking pricey ticket for Singing in the rain. If i'm meant to die, I will never be able to escape death even if I hole up in my room. I told my mum to consider moving outa our flat since it is afterall a high rise building which is susceptible to plane crash. But I must admit that I am a little apprehensive about the coming beach party at sentosa as I will be partying there and the last thing I want is to have some bombs blowing off at the beach. I hope it is near enough to the sea so that I can dive for it should anything go off. Actually, I don't really blame the Chechen terrorists for their actions because they were driven to desperation and I must say that the war waged against them is more cruel than them holding 700 ppl hostage. I am not saying that they are right in doing that but I think the media tends to vilify the wrong people sometimes. Well, we can see that the rich and powerful people will always have this influence over the masses as they are able to twist their wrongdoings to make them seem right. Just like how the bushed one talks about attacking Iraq. I think he is super "boliao" and is askin for more trouble. I seriously hope that our government here doesn't support his campaign against Iraq or else we will also be inviting more trouble. I seriously think that WWIII will break out real soon if the terrorists succeed in building distrust between the Muslim and the non Muslim nations. I know what I am gona say next may sound clichéd but I do hope that the racial harmony ties in Singapore will run strong because the last thing we want is a civil war and neither would we want "nearby" countries which are most likely fertile grounds for breeding terrorism, to attack us.
