Don't question my patriotism!


I would not question people's patriotism whether they write praising or criticising Bangladesh. It reminds me of Bush telling Americans that God is on their side! The point I would like to make here is that Bangladesh should not be India or Pakistan specific! After thirty-three years of independence, we should stop blaming others for our miseries. During these thirty-three years, we had military despots and incompetent politicians who did nothing to change the course of Bangladesh. Looting and kickbacks are prevalent right at this moment! Year after year, Bangladesh has been named as the most corrupt country in the world. The poor have become poorer and the rich have turned richer! Law and order has taken a turn for the worse.

Isn't it time to wake up? I would criticise our own competence first and then go after Indians or others . We need competent people who would be able to negotiate with our neighbours with a cool and intelligent mind. Political games would not take us anywhere!
