Dear Friends,
I'm Hind Salaam. I want to tell you that I only dream
for the future. I want to be a doctor after I end the
preparatory school, because I love to help people and
I hate the death. But I don't understand why America
insist on bombing Iraq people. We love the people of
America although Bush want to kill us, because we know
that you didn't hate Iraqi people. And I want you do
your dreams.

We love Iraq as we love our parents, and we love the
people of the world. I wish that I can keep in touch
with you. Please help us. I have many dreams to the
future.

Under the threatening of the American government of
every day, we live and continue our daily life. We go
to school, to work, visiting each other, but still we
have the hope of getting over this crisis. God will
help us and save our country from this war.

If war will arise the coming few days, I might not be
able to continue writing my own diary.

We don't know what is going to happen...

We might die .. and maybe we are living our last days
in life.

I hope that everyone who reads my diary remember me
and know that there was an Iraqi girl who had many
dreams in her life, but war has destroyed all her
dreams and her dreams will never come true.

I started watching the t.v. and the daily news and
this news all about the same - about America's threat
and this threat and this war is injustice .. I don't
know if I could stay wrote this letters because maybe
my life is too short and the responsible is America ..
am just a young girl, am just 17 year old, and am not
afraid from America or the death cause my fate is not
in the hands of America but in the hands of God .. and
if I didn't die in these days I will always hate the
American Government.

In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

we thank you for your help and sympathy, and we thank
you for your feelings, because we feel for any student
that says inside your heart, for any American student
that says, "Stop the war."

We apologize now, for all the people in America, and
we do not hate you.

the television in my office, tuned to cnn, has a graphic this morning reading "baghdad by nightfall?"
i think we have to face the facts here, kids. we are now living in a "rogue state".
