Reply #3: UPDATE: Here is Cindy's Latest Dispatch from Amman [View All]

[Subdivisions]

Here is an excerpt of the email I just received from Dede Miller about Cindy Sheehan's peace trip to Amman, Jordan:

"While I was still in JFK, an Iraqi gentleman approached me who is now displaced and living in Jordan. He recognized me and was "honored" to meet me and grateful for my work but wanted to convey something to me. He said that while what the peace movement is doing in the US to end the occupation is very gratifying to the people of Iraq, it is "too late" for his country. He said everyone who could leave, has left, and that most of the country is beyond repair. The miraculous Babylon which has been in existence for thousands of years didn't even last three years after the Americans got there. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's dead added to the over million who died during the sanctions...he sadly informed me that the Americans are not stopping the sectarian violence, only encouraging it, in his country and he holds little hope for any future for the land that he was born in and loves." - Cindy Sheehan, Amman, Jordan

I am preparing a follow up to this and will a post a link to it later.
