1. Because I rather be a parasite. Cling on to other people
threads. No time and no point to start a new topic and disappear
for a few days as I'm busy fighting my own "war" and
survival.
2. War is imminent, only how soon. My bet is within one week. Look
at the amount of reserve forces currently called up in US, Britain
and I believe Aust. Can't simply waste tax payers money and de-mob,
right? Read BT, lots for major firms jittery due to war
proceedings. BTW, West also took high regard on "face value" like
the East. When will Bush Jr put his face on the chopping board and
if he don't follow thru, see what will happen in the next election.
Beside, when there is a war, no presidential can take place,
lengthen his stay, good for his 2nd term stay propaganda for a job
well done (provide minimal casualty and swift war and put a
interium dummy govt, to US advantage....which is definately
unilkely). Another improtant point, Bush Jr hometown is Texas, a
place where guns rule the street in olden days and they like to
have gun fight. Like his father but only finishing up the
unfinished business Bush Snr left to him.
3. War is really bad in short term due to innocent casulty. But in
business context, it is good in a long run. Principle applies, what
goes up must come down. Business will flourish once an unstable
state / hard lined bovt is removed and a stable govt is elected,
spice up economy. 30 years down the road, new generation will not
remember too clearly on this war incidents but like Singapore
(previously), busy riding the tide of good economy.
4. I want the war to start fast and end faster (If war is
imminent). Otherwise, not only Sg is suffering, 60% of world
economy is suffering also. (Excl. China and India). The business
operators and consumers are living in a suspense state, no one is
committing any deals, how to survuive? This is the time where who
have the last laugh, only those who have been frugal and thoughtful
will.
Only when once this war business is finish, we can get on with our
lives and move on. By then, all undesirable or fly by night
companies will be erased off the ROC. Already, thousand of coys in
Sg have winded up.
Anyway, for pleasure reading only.
