A few thousand lives lost in a few terrorist bombings can mean
alot to Singapore, where the people are the resources. The
thousands that died can or may include important individual that
contributes alot to the economy... and many other ppl from
different wakes of live. Perhaps you are right, sending in troops
without prior notice may cause the matter to escalate into a
full-scale war but i still believe that sending in our own troops
would be a good solution to terrorism.
Our neighbour's troops, commits war crimes on their mission. Not
the first time i read that in the papers. (eg rapes and others). Of
the many people who are rounded up and detained, majority of them
unarmed. Recently, troops even turned against their own government.
What ever the reason, it still shows how the troops conduct
themselves. A bomb can explode right behind the security forces who
had been guarding the area. They can't even guard against
themselves, not to mention "helping" others.
Of course we must not kill Diplomacy. We can still co-operate with
them, but we should send in our elites. It's a matter of national
Security and i believe the Armed Forces shoulders the
responsibility of protecting the people. We are better equiped,
better-trained and strongly believed to be better-desciplined. We
may not have experience but its better than sitting back, set up
checkpoints and barriers and wait for the terrorists to hit against
the barriers.
I correct my statement on un-notified attacks in
other states.
