Reply #76: An excellent idea, Kevin and Monica

Maybe you were aware that we had something like that happening in the 'Faith Based Initiatives' topic in the Alternet forums. We had Muslims from several countries in the ME and wondered why this had not been happening ~ with the changeover, sadly, we lost contact with some of those wonderful people (working on getting back in touch with them) but we learned that we, the people, of the US and the people of their respective countries, had so much in common and very little that we disagreed about.

I think the idea of a special thread is a great one ~ I for one, would love to know more about the Iraqi people, their incredible history and how they are coping with what must be a terrifying period for them.

How wonderful that they are reaching out to you ~ imagine if such an idea were to spread across the world? There are WAY more of us, than there are of those who favor war. We see that in every poll from every country, so maybe all it will take is for the majority, (the peacemakers) to join forces by communicating with each other.

I'm looking forward to such a thread ~ :-)
