Thank God I’m old. It would hurt to see the country I love disappear completely. At least Obama does seem to have a conscience. It’s still possible to hope.

Merry Christmas to you all.
Say a prayer for the men being tortured.
It’s far more insidious than 9/11.

Your letter is so much more eloquent than the ones I wrote to each of the Red Cross people.

Anyway, I sure hope it helps. The man certainly doesn’t deserve this.

From my perspective, he’s an Iraqi hero, protesting the disfigurement and destruction of his country.
