do we still need a word 'Ganyang' literally?

After a bunch of time, there's some note I write on Indonesian relationship with our neighbor country Malaysia which getting hotter lately. I'll start with a simple question, Do we really have to start a WAR with them? This question emerges after some incident, our Government Fisheries officers are being captured by Malaysian military officers. Situation is getting worse after public knows that those Indonesian officers are doing their job to capture Malaysian fish-burglar for illegal fishing.

Let's start with a real fact. Both Indonesia and Malaysia are members of United Nations (UN) and peace are the foremost priority. If Indonesia are consider to initiate war with Malaysia, World will spontaneously condemn it and it would simultaneously discourage Indonesia in many aspect. Moreover, Malaysia is signed a defense pact with four commonwealth countries. If Indonesia are attacking Malaysia, these four commonwealth countries will also on offensive stance opposing Indonesia.

Further question? What do we have, do we have sufficient artillery and weapons to make it? 16 Sukhoi? only able to do only one complete squadron. Navy? Some say it's rubbish.

Last but not least? Are we still going to initiate WAR with them?

Indonesia Economic Outlook 2009

Di tengah badai krisis finansial dunia belakangan ini, masyarakat ekonomi dunia akan kembali merenung tentang apa yang telah kita semua perbuat sehingga akibatnya seperti apa yang saat ini dirasakan. Saat ini ekonomi dunia telah mencari keseimbangan baru dengan mencari koreksi atas kebebasan pasar yang selama beberapa dekade ini diagung-agungkan. Hal ini ditandai dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi dunia yang semakin melambat, pergerakan harga energi yang semakin mahal dan berbagai fenomena lain yang mengawalinya.
