David Letter

Dear Honest: Hello my friend. How are you? I hope you're doing well. I'm glad that you finally received the package. I hope you liked it. I thought it might come in handy. I sent another gift as well, which should arrive early next week. It's something that we had discussed earlier in our conversations. I think you'll like it. I hope that my last email to you, regarding the articles you sent, didn't offend you. I was having a bad few days at work, and I may have taken what you said in a bad way. I value your friendship and views and opinions. I welcome political dialogue, and ideas. I don't want you to think that I'm incapable of having a political discussion. I definitely have personal political views, but it's only a small part of what interest me. I like to learn about you, your interests, your culture, country, etc. I like to learn about the individual as opposed to politics. I think people are much more interesting. Don't you?  It's been a rough day for me today. I've been having back pain all day today. I had injured my back a few years ago, and it's never been the same since. Every now and than, it gives me discomfort. Having to care for my mother doesn't help. My mother is now disabled in a wheelchair, and needs to be constantly lifted here and there. It sometimes puts a strain on my lower back. Well, enough about me..... How was your day today? Today is Friday (Iranian weekend). What did you end up doing? The weather has been getting nicer here. It's been getting much warmer. I'm having our Easter dinner on Sunday. What started out as just a few guests, has now turned into a huge dinner party! When we have family gatherings, it's customary for everyone to cook something and bring to the party. This way everyone gets the opportunity to sample a variety of foods. My family is so large, that it also helps with the cost of the entire meal. If you were here, I would invite you to join my family. They would like you I'm sure of it. How is your family? How is your Mom and sister? I hope they are both well. I recently bought a camera, and plan to take pictures and send them to you. I'll probably send some photos of our Easter celebration. Do you have any photos of yourself and family? I'd like to see what everyone looks like. The pictures you sent of yourself look very serious. I know you must laugh sometime. Life is short, we must enjoy it. That's my motto. Well, I have to work over the weekend. I'm not too thrilled with the idea. Saturday is a special day we set a side for God. According to my faith, one shouldn't work on that day. Unfortunately, my job does not honor religious observances. Have you written anymore poems lately? Send me one. I'd like to read it. You're an excellent poet. Take care my friend. It's been a pleasure talking with you. Keep in touch. My best regards to your family.                                               Your American friend,                                              David

Honest letter to Fred

Dear Fred:

Tell me how US policy would have changed toward the world;Iran,Palastaine,etc if  it could make the US more energy self- reliant and less dependent of foreign oil? was there ever any need for "The Dialogue Among Civilizations" to take place?

I think one of the main reason US policy dont let any Middle Eastern countries to become democratized and industrialzed is that if this happens ,maybe we would have done the same crimes against the West as well? sometimes this "Theory of Conspiracy" deludes me aswell.YoursEven if everything I have suggested needs to take place -- the infrastructure

development, the technological developments -- does in fact take place, the energy

consuming countries, and the U.S. in particular, will remain highly dependent on

external sources of supply.  And although the oil and natural gas markets will

continue to globalize and diversify.  And this process could result in new geopolitical

re lationships and alignments.  It is clear that the Middle East will remain the

primary source of the world’s energy.

Yes, I certainly do believe that the Israelis would be happy to
help the Palestinians to build a mutually beneficial environment. This is
simply what is defined as "enlightened self-interest" and is also known as
a "Win/Win" mentality. Unfortunately, I honestly do not believe that the
Arabs have evolved to this yet. But let me take you in another direction
for a while. As you may know, we have 20 million blacks here in the U.S.
Of course their ancestors were brought here as slaves about 200 years ago.
Today the gross national product of these blacks is nearly 550 billion
dollars, much more than many countries! And yet many of these people,
especially the ones that refuse to work, blame all their problems on the
white man. The white man is their all-purpose excuse for their own
failures. For example, black Americans have an illegitimacy rate nearly
70%. Young black men go from woman to woman creating children and then
demanding that society support these kids. The young black men also turn
to crime in huge numbers. Today they constitute about 60% of the prisoners
behind bars. Naturally, all of this is the white man's fault. So what's my
point, you ask. Simply this. Just as these blacks blame all their problems
on whites, so do the Arabs blame all their problems on Israel. Never once
will you hear any of them take responsibility for their problems. It is
always the Jews. Needless to say, those rotten and corrupt Arab rulers
have learned that the Jews are a convenient smokescreen to hide their own
sins against their own people. Hussein, my friend, you are a very
brilliant young man and it is time you accepted the undeniable fact that
two plus two equals four, even in the middle east. One additional fact.
There is a growing number of blacks here who, recognizing the awful
condition of Africa, are delighted that their ancestors were brought
here, even as slaves! FRED
