Chill out, i also met al no3aimi once, the difference was that atleast al no3aimi tried to fake interest, and pretend like what i had to say had some importance…

now im not saying im some sort of genius that everybody should listen to, but i do think that i had some valide opinions which could have atleast gotten 5 minutes of the ministers precious time.. i was already in the office sitting with him, but no matter what i said all i got was evasive manouvering from the subject…

somehow people just dont accept constructive critique even when it comes with good intentions….

The sad fact is that we have no control over who governs our lives.It would be nice to think that one day the Parliament would have the courage to have a vote of no confidence in any Minister who did not manage his mMinistry properly. That would then be the start of accountability.

From my perspective the self-proclaimed king must abdicate together with the appointed cabinet; it is time for Bahrain to have a government that is democratically elected, which represents its people. However, Bahrain has a problem; a huge part of its population will vote for the uneducated religious fanatics or the rabid nationalists, whom have an idealistic view of how a society should be run, which will take the country a few steps back. But if the Bahrainis just sit back and observe the situation then nothing will happen. The country will still have its old form of despotic rule, which will only preserves the interests of the ruling elite and its allies. Secondly, the people need to think for themselves and not to vote for the candidate/party, whom their scholars or family recommend them to vote for. The people have to start making their own decisions and not to rely on their families to tell them what to do. Change cannot be done overnight but the sooner people realise that they must do something about the current state they are living in the better.

Would there be an issues with Sha. Haya being female in her role as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs? Would this be an issue if the most important foreign country she will have to deal with is KSA?

Being a woman didn’t stop our favourite most beautiful Condi from visiting Saudi?

Now come on.. Saudi may be Saudi but women do travel to a fro for a lots of reasons – personal, religious, business, education, health and kid you not – even pleasure.

Anybody that states this is similar to shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic is being grossly unfair and should wait to see the results. I would imagine that any new position holder will be left in no doubts as to effort/results required.

Here’s hoping it all goes well for Bahrain.
