World War 1 started on account of the assassination, death of one man Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The war lasted until 1918.
All ready we heard Pres. BBM at Singapore saying that the death of a single naval personnel at West Philippine Sea is tantamount to being an act of war. (Interestingly, his name is also Ferdinand!) Big words. China countered by issuing an order that anyone who trespasses the Chinese territory, can be held for a number of days. Still not a nice exchange of words.
Then US sent thousands of war armaments to Subic Bay. Then there are news that battle forces from the US are steaming towards the WPS.
Are we Filipinos, peace loving at that being drawn into a great risk of war?
Do we want war?
