ONCE MM Lee told his people that they can't compare with other countries when it come to national defense. He highlighted that a 700 sq km island state has 400 warplanes while far bigger size New Zealand has only 50. It's because Singapore has Muslim neighbour countries who are not happy with the island state's success. Moreover nobody will come help if they are bullied by other because they has no natural resources. He gave one instance that US protected Kuwait from the invasion of Iraq due to its vast oil. This words make me think some time before I could continue reading his latest book.
Logically his saying is correct and it has been proof by other example now. We all know that US and its ally are now attacking Libya by citing the misconduct of ruling government as well as protecting civilian's lives. Any reason they can give for their legal invasion since they are given a green light by UN security council. I don't know what are the rules to comply by the members of UN there. So I can think of layman way that is it a right move by western forces? Probably yes if the Gaddafi has failed to do what the government is suppose to do for its people. Generally we all guess that he is ruling his country against the people desire. It's obvious that he seems so powerful to topple by unarmed people.
After learning recent civilian success around the region of middle east and some part of Africa, people might have thought different ways that they can be a major turning point if they are hugely united in opposing to what they dislike. I believe it gave some braveness to civilian and drive them out of home to demonstrate their will. In this case, it is not more than but a domestic affair between a government and its people. I mean not like an Iraq and Kuwait case. So UN may choose another option rather than intervention. But it's US and some western countries who desperately love oil. It may urge them to force UN to issue a way in favor of theirs.
OK lets us consider it's a good move by NATO and UN. What matter to me is why the same not happening to us when our government seems unfair to us. Is it because we don't have enough oil to convince UN & western ally? Does it mean our government is treating us fairer than what Iraq & Libya has done? Does it mean our people are not as brave as African? It can be either one of above. But for sure, we have vast natural resources as well as geopolitically attractive to any other big boy in this world. I get a lesson from this latest battle that UN can ignore Russia & China's Vito power if they want to take some action against member country in the ground of humanitarian base.
But our people always think that UN is not taking enough action on us. The lucky thing to our ruling junta is that there would have been somethings more important in this world when they are under scrutiny. Nevertheless we all world's citizen especially for those from communist like countries will be eased by witnessing the case of libya now. I believe any government ruling with an iron grip will feel that the world is no longer the same as before and they are shown by Libya crisis. Hopefully all government who treat its people badly may have understand and take a right change with the interest of their own lives.
May all citizen of this planet be free from worry, fear and poverty.
