This Independence

It is independance day and I don't feel independant. It's nice to see the celebrations, but the people are rejoicing for something that they don't know about. However, it is a time to reminisce about the fact that Russia vetoed Kuwait's validity as a sovergien country so the local tribal government had to seek civilized means (like establsihing ties with local parties that were denied speech and democratic methods) to lead the country, thus differentiating us from other totalitarian regimes in the region. That's why, children, Kuwait was accepted exactly 44 years ago as an independant country.
