Wait on many much awaited things has ended!
Meaning?
It depends how u look at different things.
Such as?
The month of Ramazan has gone!
And also the much awaited Eid-ul-Fitr.
True!
I liked the holidays.
And me the festive food.
True!
U r always fond of food . Anything u can put your hands on!
No, my dear.
Am not like superpower who can put his hands on anything without proper justification.
Meaning?
Nothing!
We were talking about favourite food.
True!
My favourite food is rice.
What?
U never liked rice during your childhood.
That has past my dear.
Very strange!
No!
I think u also better start liking rice.
The next era will be the rice era. Rice will be the most sought after .....
What?
R we going to face shortage in wheat?
No!
Just the priorities have changed.
Leave it!
We r very tamed society. Will adjust ourselves to whatever is available. No big deal! In case of need we will adjust to rice happily.
Please forget food for a while and think about many Muslims who have not been able to celebrate Eid.
R u referring to the Muslims of Palestine, mourning Yasser Arafat?
It was tragic for the Palestinians.
True!
But the World Master is looking at it as an opportunity for peace in the Middle East.
What?
The death of one of the Oslo agreement signatory being looked upon as an opportunity for peace.
That is the world politics my dear.
By the way, I was not really referring to that.
Meaning?
Am referring to the Muslims of Fallujah and Mosul celebrating eid amid fierce fighting. The common citizen living without basic amenities.
True!
Their Eid prayers in Fallujah and Mosul amid bombing are dominated by the prayers for peace and security.
True!
Isn't it strange?
What?
That the World Master has still not succeeded in providing security to the life of common Iraqi citizen.
Come on!
The World Master has sacrificed their more than 1200 soldiers for the peace and safety of Iraqi people.
Come on!
U think the Master is there to....
Ya! To liberate Iraqi people from the lawlessness of Bathist party.
Really!
What about the Iraqi oil, my dear.
Come on! Don't be sarcastic!
What about the WMD still to be traced in Iraq?
Oh!
The WMD reminds me of the presentation of case of War in Iraq...
R u referring to the statistical intelligence data presented to United Nations by the then Secretary of State.
No my dear, that is past.
Meaning?
The then Secretary of State is history.
History?
Leaving behind the war on terrorism yet to....?
That's something different, my friend.
And what about the on-going hunt for WMD in Iraq which is yet to materialise?
True!
By the way?
Who was entrusted with the job to promote peace in the world by carrying on War against Terrorism ?
My dear, Rice has replaced Powell.
U r really a farsighted man!
I think I do better start preferring 'Rice' over wheat.
