Speech: Open Your Eyes

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or as we all commonly know as ISIS has once again caught the attention of the mass. As they have claimed responsibility for the devastating blast on Sunday, 3rd of July in Karada, a predominantly Shia neighborhood. The people blames the government for the incident. Of course! Why wouldn't they? More than 200 people were killed and most of them were women and children. It is said that the government placed hundreds of checkpoints around the capital, and yet, a vehilcle packed with explosives managed to get pass through these so called "checkpoints". And to think it was during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, after they had broken their fast. It was at the time where the people were vulnerable, and yet the government had failed to secure or protect those people from harm. The security itself can be considered useless. Absolutely useless. Right now, at this very moment, lives could be in danger. We, humans are fragile. So fragile that we could be in harm's way at any time. As the people who we rely on when it comes to protection, secure us. Protect your people. Do not let hundreds of lives be taken away once again. This is not business my dear officials, it is a matter of life and death. Open your eyes.
