Ramadan - a time to re-assess our lives

I read about Bahrain's traffic rules amendment on June 9.

Needing an orthotic medial arch support I searched high and low in Adliya for help. No luck at all in the leading pharmacies. However, a kind lady at Jaffar Pharmacy took great effort, made several calls and found that Rula Pharmacy had the supplies. Thank you for your customer service and I really appreciate the individual attention. Seymour arches

Dear AP, I understand and share your frustration, expressed in "Piece of cake" (GDN, June 13). But it would have been more appropriate if the headline read "The biggest daylight robbery!" When compared to this, the train robbery in England in 1963 looks like a drop in the ocean!

The arrest of terror suspects belonging to the so-called 'February14 coalition movement' is a watershed in the government's efforts to curb street violence that has rocked Bahrain since protests began in 2011.

Hearing this week's international news, it seems the US is offering to supply arms to the Syrian opposition rebels. My question: Is that going to help solve the situation or boost America's arms supply for financial benefits?

I don't normally read newspaper editorials but I have been following Thursday's column by Mr Jamal Kanj.
