if you don't help yourself, dun blame others

another day, another month, another incident of terrorist bombing
well, just like the movie 'v for vendetta' says "you can't kill an idea"
 
let me tell you the irony. the terrorist likes the advance of technology but does not wants the price that comes with it. they want to drive the americans out of middle east and be holy again. they want to clamp up but yet enjoying the riches that technology provides.
 
the muslims can't blame other people for casting an suspicious eye on them for many of the terrorist are unfortunately comes for that particular religion. Let me tell you an analogy. If you always read that brand "A" TV always gives you problems, of course you'll shun brand "A". now the company of brand "A" says that it's not fair to lump their TVs and other products that they produce as problematic but as consumers, the trust in brand "A" is lost and you can't blame us for it, as time and time again, the brand "A" TV keeps appearing in the news. Yet they keep blaming others for stereotyping them and treats them unfairly. if they dun want to be brave and stand up to be accounted for, they can't blame other people. I think it's easier to blame others than to be brave isn't it. Nobody wants to be blasphemy against God. when some 'scholars' interpret the holy book to their interpretations, how does normal people stand up to be counted?
 
believing in substance is more important than the form. the problem is, when you get not so clever or partisan fellas to be scholars, you'll get monkeys leading the bunch. if you get a hawkish scholar, all the things he interpret will be hawkish and aggressive. the interpretation, instead of being true to the book will be twisted to suit his thinking. this have always been the problem in religion. when power lies in a hand of a chosen few, it gets abused if there's no counter balance. these will always cropped up when interpretation is done by man for we're not perfect.
 
as long as there's islamic countries that believe that israel have to be destroyed, there will be no peace. it's that simple. the reason is that the jews will not be homeless again. the million lessons they have learned in the holocast is that without a country to call it's own, their fate is not in their hands and lives depend on the whims and fancy of the leader of that country and millions have died...
 
I pity lebanon and the palestinians. they're like pawns in the middle east politics. both are used to suppress israel to the extend of being detrimental to their own development. the palestinians just slap themselves in the face but there's no choice isn't it? the PLO is corrupted and they are sicked of it. thought that hamas might bring them better life but the first thing when they are elected, they want to wipe out israel... just when life is getting better though still shitty, it gets worse. lebanon even worse, one week before the war, life is normal but when the iranians back hizbollah decides to join in the fray, the whole country is bomb to pieces. while all these are happening, the mastermind are laughing away. all blame americans and israel for the mess but who started it in the first place? in the arena of politics, to kill one is to murder but when thousands are dead, it's just statistics. have syria and iran ever thought about the lives of fellow brothers in lebanon and palestinians? to them, their death are justified to satisfy the greater aim. how cheap their lifes are and how insignificant. generations of children destroyed. future? what future?
 
the europeans, they like to think that they are world players and superpowers but infact they are pussies hiding behind the lions back. they just know how to talk or rather use 'diplomacy' but people are taking them for a fool. their economy is in tatters, they can't sustain a full fledge war and neither do they have the balls to put their words into actions. i think by the time they finished talking, the iranians already have their own nuclear bomb.
 
the irony of humans, despite our neverending quest for knowledge, how much have we actually learn?
