Agree with Desert Girl completely!
And btw I wasn’t in Kuwait at the time, but I’d like to know how 6 people became blind… It’s a horrible thing.. But somehow entertaining… No no, I’m a bad person its not funny.

It is sad. Last year was my last year to go out on the Gulf Road to celebrate. I stayed COMPLETELY away this year – although I live 2 blocks off the Gulf Road.

People have forgotten what the National/Liberation days are FOR. 1) Independence as a country; out from under British protectorate, and 2) Liberation of Kuwait from Iraq by ALLIED forces. By allied – I am referring to the group of countries who helped liberate Kuwait. It was not the sole responsibility of one nation (although some did a whole lot more than others). As many of the allies were NOT “brother” Arabs, one might wonder why resentment might not be passed towards them, and away from nations who sacrificed so much to help.

I don’t know if anyone noticed or not, but this year, I didn’t see many American, Saudi, or British flags out there. That, again, is sad.

Why aren’t parents (or teachers) teaching Kuwait’s history? Even current history seems to be eluding most people here.

What the holidays are NOT about are spraying people with urine or hair-removal foam.

*Kickinass*
for some reason people tend to have a very very short memory.
Right about now if not for the allied forces we would be under Saddam we would not have had blogs decent internet or just internet for that matter all of these malls, universities, hospitals, banks, newspapers our vocabulary would consist of “belly, yabe, bawi3….ect .
As for the Palestinians for some reason we have amnesia for what Mr.Lips and his countrymen (I’m not saying all Palestinians are bad) did to us back in the 90s and this is after Kuwait gave him a home and paid him millions not to mention his wife living it up in Europe while the West Bank and Gaza are suffering .
I realized now people only hear what they what to hear.

If Kuwait law and order system was good, there would be tons of lawsuits that would be filed by people hurt from this insane celebration. I don’t know the reason behind all this madness on the Independence day. Why can’t we celebrate it peacefully? I feel sorry for those people who got blinded or killed because of this irresponsible behavior and people responsible should pay the price by compensating the victim’s family or spending time in prison.

first of all this is not your country and you are in no position to criticize the activities celebrated locally on national and liberation day. In addition, you have been here for a number of years now so you should know better than to take Gulf Road for commuting….Finally, and a word of advise, when in Rome do what Romans do. The same applied here too!!!!

Yesterday’s news paper :

Kuwait ‘snow blizzards’ end..
one dead, six blinded as celebrations wind down.

TO : 16. Bo-Bader “well, its only twice a year and it is only foam not bullets. At least its not like parades in Lebanon where people get killed and properties get damaged.”

In lebanon people get killed with machine guns!
Thanks God you guys are armed by foam cans only LOL
