All I can say is that, technology is a double-edged sword.
I cannot agree more with u on this: that America has not gained anything from their "media-publicised goal" to wipe out terrorists. Instead, sure, they have made americans more patriotic, they have made giliani the Time's Man of the Year, and other stupid redundant changes to this world.
and, guess u all didn't know this. A group of delegates from Malaysia went over to Afghanistan, and guess what they found out? The media spills shit and rubbish to all of us: making us think that the USA is helping the Afghans instead of destroying them. The first things they bombed were the schools, the hospitals, the public amenities and so on. Guess no one really know rite? Yah, the other day saw on CNN, AN American soldier was killed in the war. It was publicised so aggressively, and what happened to the publicity those thousands of afghans which were killed??? CNN didn't even show a glimpse of it. Only Al-jazeera did it.
so my fellow singaporeans, media like channelnewsasia, straits times and so on, these are tools of the garmen. They let u think wat they want u to think. Next time, don't believe every single thing they tell u on TV or the newspaper, take everything with a pinch of salt.
No killings should ever be justified. Humans made them justifiable, and let us not produce another generation of osamas and bushes, who justify killings to suit their idealisms. Sick!
