Dear Gray,
Sad to hear you parrot US
propaganda.
Have recently been to Iraq,
and have also done much research on Iraq
and, of course, our presentation of
Iraq in the media.
Have generally found that
media programming has sunk so deep that it
is impossible to refute,
especially for people who are deep
down, looking for someone to hate, and
really have never considered
the command of Jesus to love our enemies.
If you are one of the above,
I apologize for disturbing you and
humbly suggest that you pray a bit more
and listen to hatred
and fear (however plausibly presented) a bit less.
If however, you are willing
to entertain the notion that our media
and our government can sometimes be
false, and that our Lord can be
true, I would be glad to discuss with you
what I have learned from my
time in, and research on, the Iraqi people.
Blessings and Peace with Justice
Simon, in the Company of Jesus
