"We apologize for citizens of the USA"


This group from St. Paul Minnesota submitted this undated photo to the Fellowship of Reconciliation of Nyack, N.Y., which made it available Friday, Oct. 15, 2004. More than 2,000 people bemoaning the war in Iraq (news - web sites), including teachers, lawyers and the father of a beheaded American, are sending pictures of themselves and their protest signs to Iraq to show civilians there 'what Americans are really like.' (AP Photo/Fellowship of Reconciliation)

No story on this but here is the link

3. Good idea, but...


I'm not so sure that's what most "Americans are really like."

I suspect the opposite is true.

A better rationale would be to show Iraqi's that all "Americans are NOT crazy." Or "evil".

2. Wow! Thank You!
I'm going to attempt to contact the group in St. Paul. Does a heart good to see others that feel the same way.
