SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Russian Hostage Situation-Beslan 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I watched the news in horror tonight for almost 2 hours trying to make sense of what, why, when, how. This reminded me of my reaction of the 911 attack when I saw it on CNN. Then I was in complete silence, now I was just cursing. I wonder, why? Why? Why? No reason, no explanation could justify the killing of an innocent child or an innocent civilian. 10 Arabs were reportedly involved in this hostage situation. I believe these Arabs, or some say Al-Qaeda were sent to train these other militants/terrorists. There is no longer any honour in fighting whatever cause it may be, more so if you're a Muslim freedom fighter fighting for I wonder what. Nothing justifies this evil act, no cause should support such an act and no cause can be supported by such an act. Horrifying as parents wept over the death of their child, one parent even had to choose between two child as the terrorists allow for her to take one out. She chose the younger 2 year old because this baby can't take care of himself/herself. Her other 6 year may be able to survive the ordeal. No clothes, no water, no food. This is not a hostage situation. This is suicide mission, causing along many many deaths. What did their religion taught them? Get freedom by killing another? I doubt it. I am sick of these terrorists and I hope the world unites not just in saying we will fight terrorism, but actually do something about it. John Kerry's approach of diplomatic talks would certainly not help at all. I saw President Bush making a very thoughtful and wonderful speech during the convention just a few hours ago. I was convinced by his dedication, his resolve, his conviction. I know US has nothing to do with Russia,but if the world won't do something about these evil beings, perhaps President Bush may be able to do something.

Should be fight violence with violence? No. I have many Muslim friends are are wonderful people, who are religious and yet tolerant of other faiths, who are able to joke about their own religion whilst not make fun of others, who wept when 911 happened because lives were lost, irrespective of religion, who condemns the acts of such terrorists. So not all are bad people, not all are mindless robots. But there are many out there who are or who may have the potential to be one. We must fight this. Not just talk, but actually unite, break down the borders and fight it. Fight it with violence? Maybe not an eye for an eye, but something more than just talk, diplomatic ties and what nots. What can the world do?

After a school, what's next? A maternity ward?

Many may blame the Russian president, President Putin for what happened but I think we are thoughtful enough to realise he is not to be blamed. The situation aggravated by mistake, and the police had no choice but to storm in after hostages were shot when they escaped. Both sides were unprepared. The scenes were horrifying. Parents worried, civilians even helping. All so noisy, with gun shots, grenades, what nots. Horrifying.

It made me wonder. When Mahatma Gandhi almost starved himself to death, he successfuly stopped the violence between Hindus and Muslims. If Gandhi were to walk this Earth today, or if Jesus were to resurrect or Nabi Muhammad alive, will they be able to stop all these senseless acts of not just violence, but despicable "below the belt" violence or will these terrorists shove Gandhi aside and let him starve to death, hand Jesus another nail or shoot the prophet himself? Have we all become so senseless? Must we follow the western policy of banning Muslims or Arab looking people from entering their countries (which I disagree) based on a racial profile?

What more can I do?
