Reform euphoria
Long time ago, US President Theodore Roosevelt said, "All those blatant sham reformers, in the name of new morality, preach the old, old vice and self-indulgence which rotted out first, the moral fibre, and then even the external greatness of Greece and Rome."
Is Bangladesh next? Are we to be "rotted out by sham reformers?" Are we to be apathetic Bangladeshis who say, "I don't know and I don't care!"?
I don't think so. I believe we are at the banquet and Bangladeshis are feasting on the political consequences of the last thirty-five years. They don't like the taste of the political concoctions they've been fed and are demanding and working for change.
