focus

recent events in the middle east ( the hostage taking of angelo dela cruz ) prompt me to remember my reaction last year when GMA showed her support for the US in the Iraq war.

for a nation who 'exports' labor to the middle east (and in irag , in particular), it is foolish to take the side of the US in a war that a lot of cool headed people has shown disapproval for. it undermines the goodwill that our workers have built in the region. and as the hostage taking proves, it made the filipino workers in the middle east a target of terrorist tactics.

arrrgh, i hate to think of what other blunder GMA is capable of...

hmmm, i'd better remind myself that this blog is for posting pictures and 'happy' thoughts...
