PEACE IN AMERICA'S HAND?!




My roommate Binky, a guy with countless opinions about anything (including the difference between a GMA soap opera from its counterpart in ABS-CBN), once said while we were watching the news, "the world will never be at peace with America as its peace keeper."

Binky probably quoted it somewhere, but it is true.

America's weapon for peace is WAR.

It seems to me now, with George W. Bush pushing for a war against Iraq, that the only way, Bush thinks, we could find peace is through war.

They keep on saying they have intelligence report that would confirm Iraq is hiding weapons of Mass Destruction. Okay, but why the suspense in the releasing of that information?

Thanks to the folks at the UN Security Council who never gave in to Bush's whims. By giving an extension to the UN inspectors in Iraq, they have prevented another bloodshed (for now). I hope America and Bush will respect this decision.

By the way, world history would tell that the only country who ever launched an atomic bomb against another country is the US.
