Quote:
Should we rejoice?
By Ardeshir Cowasjee
TOMORROW, August 14, will be a day of celebration (of sorts) for the 170 million-odd citizens of this Republic, many of them homeless, hungry and, above all, thirsty. On the 59th anniversary of Independence we continue to be ruled by a vast government made up of members of dubious political parties all of whom claim to have ‘vision’ (of grandeur, no doubt, and of nothing else).
Should we rejoice that we have managed to survive for 59 years, or should we hang down our combined heads in shame and disgrace at what we have made of this country, and how we have betrayed and mocked its founder and maker, the unique Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

I think on the great day of independance, our elecrtonic and print media should support LEBANON in all the very best way; coupling the spirit of celebrations with the flames of unity for the Muslim world!
