Letters to Editor
 
Israel, Palestine and Muslims
The Muslim world was seething with impotent rage as they were unable to stop the killing of the Palestinian and Lebanese Arabs and destruction of latter's civilian infrastructure by the Israeli armed
 
Hezbollah's victory--the flip side
Prof. Karim Makdisi, lecturer in the Department of Political Studies and Public Administration at the American University of Beirut, and Timur Goksel, former advisor for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, recently wrote
 
No state honour for the poet
Bengalees around the world are deeply shocked at the death of poet Shamsur Rahman, the greatest name in contemporary Bengali literature.
 
Bismillah Khan
The towering musical personality and 'Shehnai' maestro, Bismillah Khan, has left us forever. The national flag flew half-mast in all the government offices of Uttar Pradesh in India.
 
Weapons of math instruction!
A public school teacher was arrested at Bergstrom International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a slide rule, and a calculator.
 
Indulgence or incompetence?
Headline news items (Aug 20) on the grenade attack investigation and HuJi's regrouping are very important eye openers for all of us.
 
Plight of an Air India passenger
Experiences of Bangladeshis travelling abroad by Air India have been far from satisfactory.
 
Our identity
We are proud citizens of independent and sovereign Bangladesh.
 
Election fever
At the moment the country is getting ready for the national elections.
 
Garment industries
It is not possible to develop our country overnight, rather we have to go ahead gradually for its development. Our garment industry is one of the most important sources of foreign currency earning.

A university teacher is a nation builder who helps produce worthy citizens. If such people, holding very respectable positions in society, become corrupt, then the country's image is shattered.
 
Don't distort history
Bangladesh is a small country, but indisputably it has a glorious history of independence movement.
 
Buet scene
Buet is drifting. The VC clearly failed to tackle the undue pressure of the students.
 
Politics and education
The recent decision of upgrading 'Dawra' as an equivalent degree to B.A. is politically motivated. The decision has been taken without any prior assessment and preparation.
 
Muslim countries
It is time the Muslim countries should really think whether to quit the UN, as it is no longer a neutral world body to deal with the problems and conflicts that are savaging this world every day.
 
Reform within the parties
The next general election will take place sometime in January-2007. The big political parties have already formed alliances to contest the election.
 
Disgraceful
The recent disgraceful act and utterances by a government high-up is a shame to the nation.
