I wrote this letter through tears a few years ago. It was an open letter to the people of Iran, Iraq, Israel, US, our military, and then president asshat.
I sent it to every major newspaper and website throughout the world that I could think of. At the time, only one chose to publish it. The Hindustan Times in India, that boast of about 1 billion readers.
Since then, it was picked up by dozens of other sites. This is just a link to one that I happened to find today. Through the many translations, it has picked up an interesting and decidedly Middle Eastern vernacular.
I have received thousands of emails from all over the world. Most would bring tears to your eyes, but some were indeed very menacing. I was waiting for my rendition. My whole family was.
I just thought I would share. I'm not sure how to post a link, so I've just copy and pasted what was in my browser.
