Good decision, belatedly though


As a foreigner living in Dhaka, I believe stepping down, as chief adviser to the caretaker government, is a good thing that President Iajuddin has done. While we foreigners often do not understand everything that is happening here, we are still able to acknowledge blatant errors in judgment when they present themselves, such as not listening to other advisers and excluding them from the electoral and political process. It is unfortunate that the government's actions so far have precipitated such a crisis and that the president was unable to listen to the voice of reason, bringing things to the state they are in now.

We join the people of Bangladesh in hoping that now that he has stepped down, the political crisis will be over.
