Dear Alochok Cyrus
I fell off my chair laughing reading this post!
Be careful my friend otherwise you will end up an old goat like me. Leave outrage, frustration, screaming etc to people like me. There are enough of us around.
But there aren't enough of people like you around. Because, whatever your conclusions, you present facts, figures, logic, history, data and seek to connect them. This is precious and there aren't enough such commentators around. We need more of them.
I always learn something from your writings - and from people who write like you even if they disagree with you.
Here's the thing:
Bangladesh, since it's birth, has not had the sovereign intergrity to demand anything from anyone. This is not the fault of our blessed soil - it is a reflection, and function, of the inferiority complexes that so blight our national character.
If this government, or any government in our history, learns that Pakistan or India was involved in the 25 February massacre do you think the government would react strongly to either country? Forget it.
Its why Pakistan still thinks 26,000 Bangladeshis were killed in 1971. And, why India treats Bangladesh like a marshy, troublesome, hinterland.
Anyway. You have no idea how difficult it was not to respond to the post that Wazed Miah qualifies in 3 categories to have a State funeral. I refrained out of respect for him - a decent man. So if an old goat like me can occassionally show restraint I know a young, beautiful buck like you can do much better :)
Looking forward to learning, as usual, from your posts!
But then I need to perform my goatish duties so that you don't feel you need to ;)
Where the hell is our Foreign Minister? Huh? What the hell man? Does she know how to lodge a diplomatic protest? Will Bangladesh ever demand anything from India and Pakistan? Will regional understanding be best reflected in the oustanding success of smuggling on our borders? Huh? What? What the hell is wrong with us? I need to take Dipu Moni clubbing! A night of dancing to trance music might shake her out of her trance! She'd look great in her sari, bottle of Mum water in one hand, another hand pumping the air. Her hair damp from sweat... Oh Momma!
