It looks as though politicians everywhere focus on really important issues.

is that all???

Now, I have a story to tell my son Haider about. It is a story that is more interested than Titanic and the Lord of the Rings. Its even deeper in Histroy that the story of the famous Iraqi Myth hero Gelgamish and his firs written epic that we always talked proudly about. It's the STORY OF THE IRAQI FLAG.

Yes we changed the flag and all our problems were solved in a second. Now we shall not care about the electricity problem because our flag will lighten our dark night, it will warm our frozen souls, we will not even think about the thousands of the displaced families because the new flag will be their houses and it will feed their angry hungry stomachs. Now, we will be able to reconstruct our destroyed country because we will build skyscrapers, hospitals and schools made of the Iraqi flags.

I swear I'm still looking for the word that reflects my DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT. Is that what our parliament care about? Shallow issues? Why did they change the flag? To satisfy the Kurds? Well, they will never be satisfied and they will ask for more day after day like fire, it never refuses more fuel. In fact, changing the flag added nothing to the whole political process because it satisfied the Kurds but angered the Sunni who refused to raise the new flag.

I just want to ask our lawmakers "is that all you can do? Do you think that this poor nation went to the election in 2005 when the sectarian violence was everywhere just to give you the chance to change the flag and to approve some other useless laws?
