Stealing SAND?  Really?  SAND????  How much sand were they stealing?  To be arrested for stealing sand?  I mean, c'mon youse guys - isn't there enough sand in Kuwait??  Do you think you could just spare a little?
Now, "pounding sand" is quite a different issue....

    It probably really was'sand' sold in bags to use to make cement etc. The article is misleading (like every other article I have ever read here) Because Kuwait isn't full of sand it is DIRT.

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
