A King's visit shouldn't block Jordan's Roads!!! طرق الأردن مغلقة بسبب زيارة

-
Our lives are as precious as those of kings, nothing less...

Even if this man is the Saudi King... ya3ni this is far too much... Why should people suffer, the following cases I've just heard at work due to road blockage in Amman... For those of you who don't know, the Saudi King came to visit Jordan and people suffered traffic jams for hours all over, cause roads should be blocked only for one man to pass!!!

Ok first and kind of worst... a young man had to go to hospital for (ghaseel Kela) how the hill do you translate that... Anyway, his father takes him only to be stopped to wait in pain, the police makes him wait regardless of his situation... This is something I know about what about all the emergency cases that had to take medication or undergo life saving operations, who will be held responsible for their lives?!? Why is it that no one speaks in the newspapers about this?!?

One lady parks her car walks two hours to get to her home in the heat of the day and is actually happy she did because other people stayed for longer hours trapped in traffic...

A university student, misses class after staying in transportation for more than 90 minutes...

I'm not against hospitality but this is not right and I never heard of anything like this... I'm sure there are thousands if not millions of other stories, much more serious ones that are left untold...

What about the business deals that were delayed or cancelled because someone couldn't come to a meeting... What about the tears of children left in nurseries without someone to pick them up... what about all the burnt fuel... people left in the sun...

Who will take responsibility for upsetting the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions... what kind of security is that, if it upsets the security of a country... Who is responsible not only before men but before God for all of this...

We are not made to be tread upon, not even by kings of oil and power...

These are the pictures that tell the story of tearing apart a landmark in this country's heritage. If you want to torture a man who has great passion for the history of Amman, all you have to do is take him to stroll down Jabal Amman and walk around the School that was built in 1947, the "Islamic Scientific College" It's wall once stood tall all around the buildings that constituted the architectural stamp of a different era. Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc...

Can't stop thinking about your Grave...

Every smile leads to you, every poster, every corner... All the lonely drives I take to work and back home... I think of you... and all the pain just rushes back to strain my throat... as if you just left yesterday... Every prayer, when I sit... I just remember how you taught me what to say... I remember how you pushed for a better me... Snowy nights and morning prayers in a distant mosque come flashing back... Every school reminds me how you used to sneak out of line 10 minutes before the bill rings just to pick me up... so I won't wait forever in line... Every apartment that is for sale, every brother I see with another, every gym, every cigarette, every cup of coffee, every PC game... I cannot forget... Every book I see...I see your face... At every car that looks like yours... I almost crumble into tears... Every time I get sick, reminds me of all the long nights you spent with me in a cold distant hospital, every time I get sick I remember how you sacrificed "kids play...
