Dear Ahdaf Soueif and James Ridgeway,

 

            I really enjoy reading and learning about Riverbend.  I find this very interesting because I am learning about different things that I was not familiar with.  It is different because although I am also going through the war I do not see it up close and personal everyday because it is not taking place here.  Riverbend describes what she sees and I can not imagine how hard that must be.  I thought the part on page 12 where Riverbend clarifies that she does not hate Americans was very important because some people think that all people in Baghdad hate Americans which is not true at all.  She does say thought that she hates the American military for all the bombing that they are doing in her country.  This makes me very sad because it’s not that we want to kill innocent people but its what we have to do to protect our country.  It’s so hard to understand why this war is taking place but it is interesting to read about Riverbend and view her takes on it.
