Inspirations for small spaces...

How lucky we are?

The following is with reference to Iraq.

You know your country is in trouble when:

1. The UN has to open a special branch just to keep track of the chaos and boodshed, UNAMI.

2. Abovementioned branch cannot be run from your country.

3. The politicians who worked to put your country in this sorry state can no longer be found inside of, or anywhere near, its borders.

4. The only thing the US and Iran can agree about is the deteriorating state of your nation.

5. An 8-year war and 13-year blockade are looking like the country's 'Golden Years'.

6. Your country is purportedly 'selling' 2 million barrels of oil a day, but you are standing in line for 4 hours for black market gasoline for the generator.

7. For every 5 hours of no electricity, you get one hour of public electricity and then the government announces it's going to cut back on providing that hour.

8. Politicians who supported the war spend tv time debating whether it is 'sectarian bloodshed' or 'civil war'.

9. People consider themselves lucky if they can actually identify the corpse of the relative that's been missing for two weeks.

So for goodness sake pause from time to time as you go about in your daily business. For the reason your family and you can sleep so peacefully at night is all because of us....So think of how we NSmen feel when you simply give us the stares on the MRT, complain that we stink and laugh at our bald shaven heads. You won't be laughing when you, or your wife or daughter's getting raped while your son and father's being beaten to death right before your very fucking eyes.

Go visit riverbend's blog and you'll know how lucky you are to be living in this small Red Dot!
