About this blog:
My wife and I have been opponents of this Iraq war from the start. We’ve participated in two marches nearby and one in D.C., but for a long time I’ve wished to do something more effective against this war.
When I heard the tragic story of this young Iraqi girl I was quite profoundly disturbed. I had trouble getting to sleep a couple of nights thinking about her story and I knew I had to do something. So I wrote this article and sent it to the op ed departments of three newspapers thinking that by using my writing skills to shine a light on her story I might in my own small way contribute to bringing an end to this war. Alas I got no response of any kind from those op-ed departments, so I’ve posted it as the first article on this blog.
There will be more pokes in the mind with a sharp pen. I’ve written two more articles and am currently putting another one together in my mind. My goal is to make them well thought out, informative, interesting and worthwhile. I will be posting new ones about once a week.
I’m giving you these articles, but I ask a little of your help in return. If you appreciate my blog and my efforts, please one time send a short e mail to all the people on your mailing list telling them about this blog, so I can reach out to a large enough audience to feel that my efforts are worth continuing.
Thank you, Greg Schindler
