[Peace] Letter from Iran

[Lois Steinberg]

Dear Friends,

My very dear friend, Azita, who lives in Teheran, Iran, gave me 
permission to publish her letter to this group.

Lois Steinberg

dear lois
hi, thanks for you letter and sorry not to write regularly. sometimes 
writing a letter seems the most difficult thing to do.
it is iranian new year and thank to war in iraq, it does not seem 
like before. i don't feel like celebrating, even though one feels the 
spring and change of the season, we had a week holiday and i was 
watching news all the  time, BBC , CNN, ARABIC CHANNEL.
  i feel such hatred towards us and uk government that it is hard to 
control it. when they talk about iraq people and they doing this for 
their  sake, i feel sick, we were in war with sadam for over 8 years, 
more than 1 million people died and our soliders were attacked by 
chemical weapons and the world watched it silently and now they are 
suddenly interested in human life, what a joke!
one should be so stupid and naive to believe them, i was watching a 
pro-war demonstration in New York, and i could not believe some 
american can be so blind to what is really going on.
it is just about power and oil.
i don't really think that all these rally for peace is going to work 
as your president has clearly no respect for human being as he claims 
to have.
nevertheless i wish you success.
people here feel after sadam is our term. and  in the mean time 
Israel is destroying what ever is left of Felestine.
they are after the whole middle east and they do anything to get it.

so dear lois, it is a tough time and i don't see hope of world comes 
to normality

lots of love azita
