So Anna and I were watching the news while we ate breakfast this morning and apparently one of the hi-jackers in the 9.11 attacks is on trial right now and some stuff went down and the judge is considering throwing out the death penalty for this guy. Wow- people are all in an uproar about it. They had this woman on there whose son was a fire

You said something that got me sad. Got me so down-right sad. I know you didn't mean to, i know you just don't know. How could you? You're sitting in Farmington, Maine and you're like millions of Americans. You're sitting in front of your tv, watching the nightly news and trying to understand what this war is all about and who is doing what to whom and when and where. Sometimes it's so hard to understand, until you hit ground here in Iraq. not just iraq, until you hit ground here in baghdad

well i'm really glad that i could get
a firsthand perspective on all of this.
And I know you don't judge me for what
my post said; that you're just wanting
to help me understand what you know and
see and I just want you to know that I
appreciate that. I just don't agree with
war in general- any war where we've had
to purposefully or accidentally killed
another human... yeah in this world we
live in all of that might be necessary, but
it doesn't change the fact that it sucks
that people have to hate each other ya know?
I also just don't believe in killing some-
one else for punishment at all... thats all.

But I do support you all over there in doing
good things like you tell me you're doing and
in being safe and coming home safe. I just don't
want people to lose hope that peace is an
option even if that sounds far-fetched or
delusional.

So thanks again for filling me in... please dont
think it went unnoticed or that I don't
appreciate it and respect it!
