          The other day, I was walking alone to the university. Along the journey there were parents walking with their babies in their arms, or in the prams. The anti-war mother, Cindy Sheehan suddenly came into my mind, and I had this thought: What if GB and OBL were childhood friends?

          My imagination started to go wild. I saw GB and OBL playing video games and jigzaw puzzle together; saw them sharing their ice-cream and chocolate together; saw 2 little babies, with different skin colour, different language, different culture, but the same naive and innocent laughter.

          Will they still be enemies today if they were childhood friends? Would 911 still happened and Iraq war still triggered if they had known each other since they were toddles, where they didn’t know nothing else but, toys and ice-cream?

          Yeah, maybe I’m too short sighted. I coudn’t see what could be the consequences if whatever attacks were not carried out by whoever to stop whatever else destructive to happen. Don’t care what are the noble reasons behind these disputes (and of course, not to mention those un-noble ones). This is all about us, isn’t it? Then what is the point of preventing something destructive by doing something else destructive???

          I once had a friend told me, "It’s a process. The world is too full. Somebody’s got to sacrifice."

          And I asked, "But what if you are that somebody?"

          He said, "Then too bad. It’s destiny."

          I guess my IQ could never understand that.
