Fighting is not the solution...

I missed yesterday's paper and had a go at it today, thus missing today's paper.. Anyway..I was flipping the paper through when I saw this article, titled Najib: Fighting is not the way, or something like that, but i can assure u it is very similar to my title today...

Unlike majority guesses whereby i am supposed to tell my own reflections based on what i read on that article, sorry to disappoint, but i didnt read the articles. The moment i read the title alone it gave me something to blog about.

This is what I wondered:-

Is he telling us that fighting is notthe answer because it is moraaly wrong to fight, or is he telling us because he very well knew that Malaysian could not stand war against others... I mean i read a review somewhere sometime ago that, even Singapore being a small nation can take us out any time, given their military capability.

I deffinitely do not know inside out about our country's expenditure on army and defense but to know that U.S.A spent and nearly hydrated some portion of some sector's money (i cant remember which sector) just to fund its war against Iraq is indeed a guideline to say where we stand. I dare say that our national defense must be very weak. Given the fact that we always seek peace, thus there is nothing to worry about war- but who knows which country might attack us next. Already there is loads of insiders news saying that we harbour JIHADs and other form of terrorist groups. SO it must be pretty futile to leave our country to be vulnerable without much preparations. I mean remember the tragedy in GOLOK somewhere last year??? If it could happen so close, how sure are we that it can never get closer. Is our security really tight enough to ensure our safety. Honestly I doubt it...

I saw this security guy carrying this M16, clenched tightly to his body with his arms. The instant thought that came to me was, can he really use that thing effectively?? Terrorist plan their self to be such, thus they have all their trainings drafted and carried out even to use any form of weapons. So i sincerely doubt if there was a case whereby the security guard i mentioned earlier and a terrorist is to go face off----i guess the security guard will be downed in less then 5 seconds. Sorry to assume, but I dont think so our country's any strong when it comes to army and defenses.

To think about it, US and several other countries might have a good reason to legalise gun law policy...They might wanna train their civilians to be able to use firearms spontaneously...So that in the event of war, the civilians migt be able to support their country. And where does that put us??? Oh yeah...a peaceful nation...who have became to weak with all those peace blessed upon us, not knowing when it will be gone one day...But by the time we realise it, it will too late to do anything.

Where Fantasy and Reality Cross Paths....wham, bang...bleuk!!!!
