I guess most of you heard of the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Arthur Balfour, the man behind the declaration, was the nephew of the prime minister of the United Kingdom back in the late 18 hundreds, Lord Robert Cecil. Later succeeded by Arthur Balfour as the prime minister of the UK, the bottom line is that Lord Robert Cecil promoted Arthur Balfour to a high official post, seen by many as an act of favoritism, “wasta” so to speak.
Ok, on a lighter note, I’m sick of politics!! All we’re asking for is justice, equal opportunity and freedom of speech. This is pathetic Kuwait will always remain Kuwait it doesn’t depend of any family. Hey! This is my opinion, even this guy ruled!!
How bizarre!

IM SO SICK of politlics!!!!!
i hate politics! my god everywhere i turn!!
driving me crazy!
and the example of balfour is exactly why wasta should be abolished!
Isn’t it! wallah khalas! We need to agree on something and move on!!
We should abolish the need for wasta. Wasta cannot be abolish by its self.
I'm not sure how anyone can abolish it. By law? How do you legally prove wasta? Besides, it's an essential evil in humans to hire the people they like (family, friends, suckups..). We can yell and scream about it but can anyone come up with a practical solution? (btw I don't think W got where he is based on his brains either)
Wasta- ugh! Politics- ugh!
Wasta isnt goin anywhere soon, that we know of. Certain ppl just have too much pull here in the Kuwaiti government. Which can really be harmful to its people. We have to sit here and suffer, just because someone knows "somebody"!!!!
well the way i see it you dont have to sit here and suffer...
eather A you try and make a change or B get the hell out this place and never look back (which is what i intend to do)
