Hi Khaled

Thank you for writing. I know only what I've read about the Middle East and 
now it seems as if there is very little real news on account of the military 
action. We only hear what "they" want us to hear so I think the blog is a 
good thing... unfiltered, if you will.

When you mentioned religious nut jobs you are talking about Iran and we seem 
to have a quite a religious nut in charge here in the US too. But no matter 
where we live, we all want the same things, don't we... to live in peace, to 
prosper, to love and be loved.

Can you imagine Mr. Bush reading Dr. Ahmadinejad's blog? I cannot. It's 
unfortunate as it seems they would get on well together. And I would really 
like to see Mr. Bush's response!

Thanks for your comments,

Dan
