対イラク武力行使

This is the first email to you. I knew your blog site from "The Terrible
Truth" written by by Timothy J. Freeman, dated 09/15/03 (Information
Clearing House). I am writing from Japan. To my regret, my government
has decided to send troops and money to Iraq to help Bush. As you wrote
before in your blog, I don't think the money will be used in an
appropriate way to help Iraq people.

I have participated in a forum concerning the U.S.'s attack on Iraq,
which unfortunately uses Japanese. So I decided to introduce some of
your blog in the forum, in Japanese, without your prior permission. I'm
really sorry for it, but I believe you forgive me. This is the location
of the forum:

I hope you have some way to read Japanese. I definitely agree on your
opinion given in your blog dated Tuesday, October 21, 2003, which I am
going to translate into Japanese.

"Why is it so hard to understand that some things are sacred to people?!
How would the troops feel if Iraqis began flinging around Holy Bibles or
Torahs and burning crosses?! They would be horrified and angry because
you do not touch a person's faith…"

Lastly, I really wish you and your family safe and peace. And please do
remember that there are so many, many people all over the world who read
your blog and feel empathy with you.

Sincerely,
