Interesting Letter to the Editor From a New Yorker

While traveling, I like to collect letters to the editors from local papers. While I did not go to New York City on this trip (though I was in Port Jervis, NY), I did pick up an issue of "The New York Daily News."

There was this humorous letter from Jean Hopkins of Bronx, NY. It pertains to Iraq.

It reads as follows:

"Please explain how American soldiers are being killed and maimed on a daily basis in Iraq, yet strong, healthy Iraqi men are playing soccer in Indonesia!"

I am not sure which political direction the letter-writer took, but she makes a very good point about the confusion over 'all things Mesopatamia.'
