A religious coalition has put together an ad that has run on Arab TV which apologizes for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. It’s thirty seconds of powerful, beautiful words and it has already been warmly received by the Arab world.
The ad states:
“A salaam aleikum [peace be upon you], As Americans of faith, we express our deep sorrow at abuses committed in Iraqi prisons. We stand in solidarity with all those in Iraq and everywhere who demand justice and human dignity. We condemn the sinful and systemic abuses committed in our name, and pledge to work and right these wrongs.”
I don’t think anyone could say it better than that.
Hello from that random person that is hoping to live in your neighborhood soon!
I agree that the ad is needed and well stated. I got a link to an article about it recently, perhaps from moveon.org, and thought it was a great idea.
I’ve been enjoying reading about how much you are loving your neighborhood, and hoping that it can possibly be my neighborhood, also. If you see anyone lurking around the big brick place, scare them off! 🙂 Unless it’s me, of course.
It’s this one that I have my eye on:

Glad everything is going well for you all.

Thanks, Crystal!
We hope to welcome you to the neighborhood soon!
