HW35 “An open letter to Riverbend”
Dear Riverbend,
After reading your August 2003 posts i have learned so much more about the war and what is going on. You have shown me a whole different side to it all. By you doing this i have put the whole thing into a different perspective. What i found interesting was that you can relate or see the good in both sides sometimes. For example when you where talking about how you hate the troops for being over there, but yet you had some reasons for why you sympathised with them. I haven’t really kept up to date with any of the war or whats going on over there, but when you described it and how you feel at night sleeping in anxiety waiting for a gun fire or an explosion. It really gets to me because no one should have to live like that. From your posts we get to see how bad things over there really are for the towns people and how its like you are imprisoned in your own towns and homes. I don’t think its right at all to have to have someone (male) go with you everywhere and that you have to dress differently than you want to because you are afraid that what you usually wear would attacked attention to attackers, hijackers, etc. I find that your posts are very insightful into the whole thing and it gives us a different view on what is going on and if it is the right thing to be doing.
sincerely ,
Paige
