Should People Get Involve With Political Disputes?

Street protest over territory dispute between nation is actually exercise of one political rights in a free country, there is nothing wrong about that, as long as the protest is non-violent, many elected government in the free world will allow that to happen. I'm just wondering why both countries do not file for an international dispute resolution tribunal hearing in UN, or even to the international court of justice; there is always a channel for territorial dispute open in UN for member states, they need to get their act straight and move ahead with using diplomatic channel available to them before going for an all out war from verbally to physically fight between their soldiers. I am also against attacking a foreign embassy and the host goverment should provide protection against violent protestors per se. Usually attacking an embassy is a violation of internatioanl law; and treaty between countries. I hope the government will take this matter serriously whenever foreign embassy is under attack by their population.

I think that you should also consider the fact that many people are concerned when it comes to politics and specific to this case, sovereignty rights. If I am correct, your country and mine is also in a similar dispute. Some people feel that it is their right to protest the ownership of such islands as a show of force against the other party in violating their sovereignty or right of possession. This show of force means that they are not given their rights to the said island without a good reason or justification on both sides. As much as we wanted to leave the matter to the government, the representative government can also do many things, including what the public thinks is wrong. They might the leaders or representatives but when it comes to possession and territory, the whole nation involved. The government is still the representative of the people and makes the appropriate decision, which can either be met with approval or disapproval of the said public. In addition, the public can also show its disapproval of the government decision by holding such protests. It is the people’s right to be involved if they wish. The same applies to not beign involved.

Some people are natural-born leaders, and some people are just meddlers. Up to you to determine which is which, but both have a knack for going over the government's business. I also have a bunch of those here, in the Philippines, and to tell you the truth, I don't care. As far as I know, they tried acquiring some island here. As a citizen, I just leave it up to them. If we don't get it, fine. If we get it, "Hey! Philippines is expanding!" ..then move on with my life.

Hi friend, some people are very much interested in politics and take part in such kind of disputes, but it is not a good thing and it will create a lot of unwanted things in life, this kind of people must avoid their activities and select the proper person as their representative
