Kuwait Election Thoughts - Are You 'As Mad As Hell and Can't Take It Anymore'?

By Hilaliya on May 5, 2008 4:35 PM | | Comments (3)

I am thoroughly enjoying the run up to the Elections, the myriad of satellite shows on Scope TV, AlRai, Nabeeha Tahaluf and others, the campaign headquarter visits, the newspaper and blog articles fueled by scandals and analysis... The media is indeed helping to shape the results of the next election.

But what is the feeling out there on the streets of Kuwait? Anger, cynicism, disappointment?

The 'mad prophet of the airwaves' Howard Beale (Peter Finch) howled in the classic 70s drama NETWORK, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Is the Kuwaiti electorate angry enough to make a real difference on May 17th?

I support One District all the way as well.

As for the 5th District...just vote for people who didn't partake in any primaries, who are sincere, passionate and love this country - that's really what it comes down to.

Everyone has a bullshit detector, the phonies are easy to spot, especially in this day and age with the satellite interviews and such.
