Well, I don't know how I found you but I think we move in parallel thoughts and ideas.
121contact.typepad.com/ is a blog of students/teachers in Iraq/USA (and now some in Jordan). After my nephew Mitch Wallace was killed on 9/11 in NYC I chose this as a way to turn grief and anger into actions for peace.
email flowing through the killing zone has provided both sides with a chance to get to know the people of each land, as differentiated from the governments of each.
It is often difficult to answer each other's hard questions, but we try, and we build friendships that hopefully will cut through the lack of information we have about each other.
And the chance to tell stories has its own healing effect.
Keep up the good work,
Bruce
