                    [Summary] => 

Perhaps one of the most intriguing things about Singapore is its distinct quality of holding a collection of cultures and religions, all of which melding effortlessly with each other in what many would call unity amidst diversity.

It’s been barely a month since I last saw Singapore.

Despite its vow to intensify peace efforts in the Middle East, Washington vetoed an anti-settlement resolution at the UN Security Council Friday, dealing a blow to the hope that Israelis and Palestinians could reach an accord in near future.

Time flies so fast. I can’t believe I’ve been based here in Singapore for eight months now. It seems like ...

Only when we got here did we find out that it was a tasteful showcase of burlesque imported for the tropics.

It’s what got Jesus nailed to the cross on calvary, ending in Jerusalem the 33-year journey of the Holy Infant born in Bethlehem. (In modern-day travel time. Bethlehem is just a 15-minute drive away from Jerusalem, but to the Israelis in the ancient Jebusite capital and the Palestinian Arabs in nearby Bethlehem the two places are a world of enmity away).

Nor do I come close to the sprightly Disney girl-next-door Lizzie McGuire who wangles her way out of one wily teenage caper after another with nary a strand of hair out of place. What I am is the coolest of cool because what I’ve got is a cauldron of chockfull of delicious adventures to make any food lover drool with envy.

And yet for over an hour the other night I could not take my eyes off CNN’s live coverage of Iraqis trying to pull down a statue of Saddam Hussein. Since the start of the war we’ve seen other statues of Saddam toppled or destroyed. But this statue, inaugurated only last year to mark Saddam’s birthday, was right in his nation’s capital, in Baghdad’s Al-Fardus or Paradise Square.

From what we’ve seen so far, coalition forces grossly miscalculated or were misinformed about the extent of welcome they would get from the Iraqis they would be "liberating" from the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein.

[Summary] => It’s not Saddam Hussein they hate in the United Nations Security Council. The way things look, in the wake of the reports of UN Arms Inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei (who "found no weapons"), it’s the United States – symbolized by George W. Bush and Colin Powell – they dislike in the Security Council.
