On the Road with Entisar

I had the opportunity to travel with Dr. Entisar Ariabi for one month through the East Coast. To read my daily blog entries and see photos, please click on the link below. I blogged every day of my travels with Entisar through Alabama, Florida, Massachusetts, and New York.

    Too damn funny! CodePink, a very small minority with no power to change a thing. Should be called "CodeBlonde"

    Dear Rae: I'm very happy Code Pink is protesting the war in Iraq. I met Jodi Evans while working in Baghdad in 2003, and was very impressed with how committed the group is to ending the insanity of this conflict. Please keep up the good work.

    Sincerely,
    Joel

    Does Dr. Entisar Ariabi support the way women were treated under Saddam? Does she support the way women are treated generally throughout the middle east? Do you have any idea the kind of suppression of women you are supporting through this woman. We just opened a mass grave filled by Saddam with women and their children. Some of the children were infants. They were made to stand in front of open graves and then they, the women and the CHILDREN were shot through the head. Are you insane? You call yourself a feminist? What can you be thinking? Does this woman, Entisar Ariabi, support the killing of those women and children as opposed to a democratically elected government. Do you have any idea how this blog would be perceived and treated in the old Iraq or Iran? You live in the greatest country in the world. She affords you the right to write your drivel. My own young relatives have helped digging up mass graves that contained CHILDREN. What is wrong with you. You go about your irresponsible happy life as if you are completely and utterly ignorant of what is actually happening in the middle east. I will tell you one thing that is wrong with you. You certainly are not in support of women in the middle east.

    Please listen to people like David, if you dare...

    Examine your real motives for your type of activism.

    There's another side to all of this. Don't help the world repeat the appeasement-dance of 1939.

    you are inflicting poison in the minds of today's youth and everyone else. it saddens me to hear your rants and those of your ridiculous codepink followers. you all need to wipe the sleep from your eyes that is called ignorance and WAKE UP. i get so infuriated to hear the garbage coming out of your mouth while young men and women are putting their lives on the line for you. not for politics, not left nor right, but upholding an oath they swore to protect our rights and liberties that you so carelessly abuse. maybe our country should turn a blind eye to the atrocities taking place in the world, and let murderous tyrants be in power. let's ignore compassion, and a willingness to fix what's wrong, the root of the problem, before it becomes worse than it is. let's give in to terrorists. step down and let them know we are afraid and will do nothing to fight back. what kind of world would that be? i know i do not want to be a part of it. i am proud to be an American, proud to stand up when people like you try to jeopardize our freedom. my heart swells with thankfulness at the thousands of service men and women who give up their freedoms to defend ours. my heart aches for them, for the families they leave behind, the normalcy of a civilian life. but how wonderful it is to know that there are courageous American's out there. when i see people dressed in idiotic get-ups trying to get attention for bogus causes and finger pointing, i am comforted in knowing ultimately we'll be alright because of the selfless sacrifices taking place that you spit on.
