If you want to know how i felt about the reception that was given to the most hated and worst US President of all time who visited singapore a few days ago...I shall simply put it as "tasteless".
Yet again, It seems a significant number of singaporeans have publicly shown how much they idolize George Bush and all his ideals. The crowd present at his address at NUS hall even gave him a standing ovation. I was wondering whether all of them had forgotten the fact that he's responsible for the death of thousands of innocent people in iraq ? Or were they applauding for the blatant fact that he had achieved all that ? Utterly disappointing yet expected.
I reckon alot of people here expected his speech to be about terrorism and how to suppress islamic insurgency. However as I expected, he rarely mentioned anything about terrorism due to his apparent failure in the middle east. Iraq is in a disastrous state of collapse and anyone who does not acknowledge that is definately in a state of denial.This must have come as a disappointment to many here including the local media which keeps on fuelling the fear and anger by harping constantly about terrorism and it's threats. George Bush has probably learnt his lesson and moved on, i suggest singapore follow suit. Let's talk about something else for a change.
