Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 5 Num 893 Fri. December 01, 2006       Letters to Editor Open letter to our politicians Sujan E. Bin Wadud, New York Once again, the country is splendidly made to stand still by your whims, which are borne out of a solemn singular desire - to reign. I must commend (not condemn, mind you) all you politicians for your efforts to not waste a single minute of your busy days to any idea that may be, God forbid, "good for the country"! In fact, it must be a very foreign concept to you, I imagine -- this so-called "good for the nation/people" thing or whatever. In the unlikely event that you feel even an iota of compunction, please thrust it aside and let the country go to hell, through future hartals and blockades. Don't lose focus - save the seats, that's the golden rule. We are here to feed your power-hunger with our votes, fear not. Some people may be foolishly saying - the days of Ershad were better. Pay no heed; besides, Ershad is making a comeback - which proves that we can take politics out of the man, but we can't take the man out of politics. Earlier, the Pakis were hell-bent upon destroying our nation; well, now we have our own home grown Pack of Canis.
