In the barber shop

October 23, 2007

One of the most difficult things I do in my life and I like to call a very hard mission is cutting my hair. I really plan for this event in my life for about three days before accomplishing the mission. About a week ago, I looked in the mirror and I decided that it was time to have a hair cut

.
After long term planning, I went to the barber shop in my neighborhood. I found two men waiting for their turn. Having a quick look, I found out that my friend the barber had bought a new satellite receiver and everybody was watching a songs channel. I didn’t care much about it because I don’t like the songs of these days which basically depend on half naked girls.

Anyway, things were fine until a young man came and he decided to change the channel. He chose the official Iraqi channel and it was showing a parliament session. One of the men who looked about 7-10 years older than me said quickly “please change the channel, I don’t want to see those people”. I asked him why do say so and he said because they do nothing but talking and they did nothing until now. I couldn’t talk to the man any more because he is right.

Our parliament was discussing yesterday the Turkish threats while they didn’t ever discuss the internal threats, the militias threats, the poverty threat, the corruption threat and above all, the threat of loosing the humanitarian values. I wish that our political leaders realize that they will not stay forever in there positions and remember that everything on this earth has an end

At the end, I involved in the big issue and took the remote control from the young man hand and changed the channel to another songs channel but this time with sweet girls dancing like love birds and you know, although I don’t like these songs but it was only million times better than watching our failure politicians.

Mighty Allah, our political leaders and the US administration who said that they came to help us , they both disappointed us. Its more than we stand. Please Allah, do something because we became too weak to help ourselves
