Commercials Time

I have the conviction that as a person I do not have a problem with the American people given the fact that I have a number of American friends who are so nice and thoughtful and not even in my dreams would I ever hold them accountable for what the Bush Administration has done in their name. Besides, I have always thought that Iraqis need to make friends with fellow Iraqis first.

One of those friends happened to be a very nice guy, Josh Kline. He thinks bridges need to be built for both peoples to communicate and get to know each other, which is why he thought of creating two sites,
one for letters sent by Iraqis and Americans and another for both to get to know each other more.


With regards to the former, Josh’s motivation was "If there were foreign soldiers in my backyard, and one neighborhood was bombing another. I would want to say something."



As for the latter, “Personal gravity is that universal force that draws people together. Our new site
www.empathyunites.org hopes to give a platform for people to commune over peaceful principals on Iraq. We hope to build a place where Iraqis and Americans can come together and plant seeds of understanding. We have almost no members now, but with your support we can grow. Please join in today, help any interested person in your organization to join, and send this letter to anyone you think would benefit."


Though I said the former is a waste of time and the latter is a dating agency [and I’m SORRY FOR SAYING THAT] Josh’s sincerity to make a difference was the only reason for me to promote those two sites.
