I pity the “poor” citizen who was waiting “impatiently” for the continuation of the dawn prayer against the whales of corruption, and then he was faced with a political comedy that took place under the dome of Parliament. The political class discovered that Iraq does not need electricity, development, and industry, but rather an intellectual cross-fertilization led by the Minister of “Digital Economy, Governance, Science, and Technology.” In 2003, we established a Ministry of Science and Technology, and then years later we discovered that paying attention to the clans, spreading quotas, and sharing the spoils were more important and lasting. of science, and we replaced modern economic theories with the sermon of Sheikh Mustafa Al-Ansari, who reassured us that “we are back at war, we are dead, dead.” So what do we need for electricity and projects? Instead of Parliament providing us with justifications for choosing four deputy prime ministers and creating new ministries while Iraq is borrowing from the World Bank, the poor citizen saw a number of representatives shedding tears of joy after voting for some ministers, and we saw a representative groveling to the Speaker of Parliament in order to intercede for him with the head of one of the blocs. Political. During this period, a number of representatives came out to us, along with political analysts, to tell us that the cause of our problems were the Gulf countries. Why, gentlemen? Because, according to them, they are “Bedouin” countries, and a representative who published a new map of the world told us that the Gulf countries will disappear in 2030. What is strange is that some representatives, along with a chorus of political analysts, did not tell us why, for example, the Kuwaiti dinar is equivalent to five thousand Iraqi dinars, and why the gross domestic product of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the year 2026 amounts to “1.39 trillion dollars.” Why is unemployment zero among the “Bedouins” in Qatar, and why do millions of passengers pass through Dubai’s “Bedouin” airport every day?Why does the “Bedouin” Sultanate of Oman rank first in the environmental quality index, while Mesopotamia is declining? Why is the income level of the “Bedouin” individual in the Gulf countries double the income of the Iraqi individual who lives under the blessing of the Iraqi Parliament? We read on international websites concerned with ranking the standard of living of the countries of the world, and we know that Iraq ranks at the bottom with the worst health care and services, and we know that the rise of the dollar has caused an increase in the poverty rate, and we read about the countries that achieved the highest ranks in the world, such as Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Denmark, and Singapore. If you ask about the Arab countries, you will find that the Gulf countries are in the first ranks in the Arab world. Therefore, dear citizen, after all these achievements, do you not see with me that those in charge of the affairs of these countries believe that the world is conspiring against their pioneering experience, and that many countries in the world envy the Iraqi citizen? The populist discourse that relies on ridiculing others is not qualitatively different from the festival of failure whose chapters you live every day.
