Japan's massive flood control tunnels

It is more fun criticizing

Has DPWH our geniuses thought of something similar for Bicol?   We had massive budget for Bicol.   P61 billion for the last two years?   We can build open impounding pond or lakek for flood control.  The idea of flood control is to slow down the flow (vs storm drainage to speed up a low.   This post studied flood control early on)

Did their respresentation let them down?     

We can add reforestation reclaiming riverways and waterways from river bank projects.  

Air strikes vs ISIS is not a good strategy; ground troops are

From my humble knowledge of strategy, air strikes vs ISIS who can hide among the civilian population can only waste the war assets or USA and its allies.  Air strikes were not effective vs VC in Vietnam;  the tunnels were good defense as in Afghanistan.

You have to match the assets of ISIS namely ground troops are needed.   Otherwise, its a USA that does not want to be dirtied in combatting what it considers a threat to US.
