The world political scene is getting more and more uglier, a war against terrorism is quickly spiralling out of control, and when religion is behind it becomes more complicated. Many leaders from various countries are starting to take side, which has no different to the dawn of world war 1 and world war 2.

Just few days ago, Israel started to attack Lebanon in larger scale in an attempt to eliminate or paralyze Hizbollah and Hamas, 2 globally recognized terrorists groups after Hizbollah kidnapped 2 israeli soldiers while Hamas kidnapped one. Israel demanded the safe return of its kidnapped soldiers and Lebanon to disarm Hizbollah. But these 2 demands seems a bridge too far right now. The worst still is Hizbollah and Hamas are suspected being funded by Syria and Iran. If these 2 countries are being pulled into the war, the consequences can be far from worst. Not to forget that Iraq, the country still trying to recover from war is loaded with pockets of terrorists within. While middle east is busy with the war, there comes North Korea who rejected UN solution to its nuclear program within 45 minutes setting all new world record, and vowed to launch more missiles exercises.  Israel starting to shower Beirut and southern Lebanon with airstrikes, killing innocent civilians and driving up their support towards Hizbollah to an all time high, which is not expected.

This is a worrying issues, with its effect far from limited to middle east, gasoline price skyrocketing, creating massive issues for many companies, citizens with the increase in cost and increase in product prices. Companies who are not doing well are started to layoff employees. Watching the leaders of super power expressing their views is a pain in the ass, but you couldnt really blame them because it aint so straight forward, there are many political complications behind. Is world war 3 on the brink ? I can only hope that it will never but it is not up to me to hope for, it needs the whole world to hope in that way and work towards peace…. if everyone can just cool down, put their own benefit aside, put religion issues aside and differences in culture aside, and being objective in discussing all issues and not keeping a blind eye, a long term peace could be possible, but so I hope. Definitely everyone wants to have the right to stay alive, trying to eliminate one and another is never possible. Just like the chinese word said " Yuan Yuan Xiang Bao He Shi Liao".

Being stubborn will only result in more bloodshed in many years to come….everyone has to give and take. Root towards terrorism must be understood and resolved, and not trying to neutralize them, because when someone falls, someone will always rise when the root issues are not resolved.
