I got one, close all borders with Iraq, period! They’ve been nothing but a pain in the you know what for the last 100 years or so. From King Ghazi, to Saddam and in between. Throughout history, they’ve been bullying us til we woke up and found out that we’re stateless. Iran waged war with them in the 80s and we rebuilt Al-Faw. What did we get in return? August 2 1990. The thing is we never learn from history. It does not matter who runs Iraq, they will always have their eye set on Kuwait even though Iraq is richer than Kuwait and Saudi Arabia combined and that’s a fact.

Our super-friendly foreign policy with Iraq needs to be changed.

A democracy cannot never exist as a permanent form of governmeny because citizens voters inevitably discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment onwards, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.

History shows that the average age of the world’s great civilizations have been two hundred years. These nations progress through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage. Sound familiar; Kuwait?

Kuwait has created an “entitlement class” among it’s citizens. People act as if everything is owed to them and no effort on their part is required. People feel they are owed a job but have to put forth no effort in the performance of said job. I work in the private sector as a manager. One employee was late six times in 11 days then tried to tell me her husband was going to be mad that she got fired. You think? And that is my problem, uhmmm, how? People are actually surprised when I fire or discipline them.

These are the same people who decide to spend their last dinars on vehicles they cannot afford and let their kids eat falafel. They are never accused of making piss poor choices, they are coddled and told how bad they have it, how unfair the company is to them!

Democracy works a lot better in western countries due to the way people think and are brought up.

Crazy crazy crazy people hahaha; glad we have that kind of humor in Kuwait hahahahahahahaha

On the other hand, I’m getting the vibe some people would be fine with the parliament being abolished all at once. But two wrongs don’t make a right. That’s just crazy talk if you ask me.

You can’t deny that Kuwait is the most democratic country in the Middle East when it comes to Freedom of Press. Even more than Israel, which is a “Western” country according to some. In Kuwait, you can say something against the royal family, and only get a slap on your hand, that’s if they even prosecute you. If you go against the royal family in Saudi Arabia for example, you will damn sure get hanged. So, I do think Kuwait is democratic in the “Arabian” kind of way. Just because you’re American or British, it doesn’t mean that we have to follow how your government is established. It has flaws too. Besides, there isn’t one Kuwaiti who doesn’t want the royal family in power. Without the Al-Sabah, Kuwait will simply fall. Most of the MP’s are in power because they buy votes. What do you think is going to happen when we’ll have an elected Prime Minister? It’ll be chaos! We as Kuwaitis are very proud of our democracy. While it’s not as democratic as Western standards, we are still better than the rest in our region, and I am more than sure that we are the most envious country in the Middle East. Everyone wants to follow us.
