Hi Mazen. I tried to read "for Arab readers only" and my Arabic is as rusty as an old skeleton key but I did seem to get some gist or is it grist for the mill. I have been your avid reader since the 34-day war in 2006 and I incorporated some of your blog posts into a collage poem which needs work but I would be happy to send it to you. I am American even to the extent that I will not condemn Mr. Bush which no one who loves me believes, but there you have it.
I loved your posts during that war. I did not like Condi at all at that point. I did not like Mr. Bush either. Just because I LOVE my country's leaders doesn't mean I have to like them. I am interested in your response to the death of your Hezbollah leader and the defensiveness of Israel at this point. In December I said to various people what my CAT had told me, that the solution to the Palestine/Israel situation is PALESTINE IS REAL. There should be no distinction between Arabs and Jews. After all, am I crazy or do they not have a common ancestor, though of course Ishmael was said to be wild and unruly--BUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT??? Hagar was in many ways more to be admired than Sarah, who was whiny and ungrateful. And Isaac was just TOO passive, after all he let his dad take him to the mountain and almost chop his head off. Would Ishmael have allowed this? HE was smarter. And I have always maintained to my friends that the Arabs are the ones with brains, compared to the Jewish Israelis with their chips on their shoulders. Not that they ARE dumb, but they need to drop the Jewishness that they think sets them apart. For God's sake they didn't like the manna, but wanted cucumbers and dill instead. Is that in the Qur'an???

I would be interested in corresponding with you via e-mail.
I am a soldier of peace, an American patriot who thinks Hillary is the better choice because of her wisdom and age, though Barack is clearly more the Leader of the People, and will be great, no doubt about it. If you wish to contact me, my best e-mail to be reached at is panthertrainer@insightbb.com.
And by the way, i consider myself for real purposes an Islami-Christian. Do you know what that is? My name is Harriet.

Peace and Love, even Shalom, H.
