This patriotic American and concerned citizen of the world responded with an email that will be forwarded via

And I beseech every thoughtful, patriotic American seeking peace and justice to send their own email chat, knowing full well that thanks to the Patriot Act, the USA Government will read it too!

Dear President Ahmadinejad and to all the God-fearing, truth-loving and justice-seeking people of the world,

Divine providence has indeed brought us together via the World Wide Web.

The only borders that exist between us are all man made boundaries that exist on pieces of paper that can easily burn by the heat generated from one solitary match.

I am a member of the New Fourth Estate; civilian journalist/blogger. The New Fourth Estate was born after THAT DAY, we call 9/11, when the mainstream media went limp and the Doctrine of Fear was implemented by the Bush Administration to manipulate public opinion and further its lust for empire building.

I did not for a second believe that anyone hated America because we are 'free' as President Bush said. I instead, desired to understand why anyone could target and murder innocent people. I do not care who wears the uniform, or how noble they believe their cause is, anytime an innocent one is caught in the crossfire of violence; they are terrorized!

Because of a photo that ran in a USA Catholic newspaper of a little Palestinian boy, named George from Beit Jala, I journeyed four times into the occupied Palestinian territories to learn and report the truth on WAWA: http://www.wearewideawake.org/ and other open minded truth-loving and justice-seeking USA alternative news outlets on the World Wide Web.

In the year 2000, in the ancient indigenous Christian village of Beit Jala , a five minute drive from the Church of The Nativity in downtown Bethlehem , some hopeless militants had infiltrated to shoot into the illegal colony of Gilo a mile away. The Israeli Defense Force retaliated and the bedroom of George was decimated. The shrapnel that pierced the wall of his sanctuary read "Made in USA" and was delivered from American made Apache helicopters that buzzed over his head. If George had been in his bed, he would be dead.

While some governments consider the trauma to innocents "collateral damage" my heart told me DO SOMETHING!

President Ahmadinejad, you asked "Is it not possible to put wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations, instead of aggression and war?"

I respond, YES! But it is up to the International Community to rise up and demand that International Law and the UN Declaration of Human Rights be the rule of law for all nations and states to abide by. And only then, will we, "have it in our power to begin the world again."

That quote was written by Tom Paine, the most radical and revolutionary of all America 's founding fathers who also penned:
