Okay, a little about myself. My heart has always been into writing for
children, and my dream has been to find a SAFE place for kids of all ages to
come to read, explore, learn, etc. When I had the opportunity to begin
Jellbyean Junction, within one month I also had to add a special section for
teens. I'm proud of my ezine, and I've received numerous emails that say that
kids with problems reading or wanting to read in school, Jellybean is opening a
new world for them. So I feel that God has led me to do this, and I'm really
content with it. Visit the website, and I think you'll enjoy your trip there.


Thanks so much for your permission to use Memories of My Grand=dad. I think it
would leave an impact on kids today, and how much the older generation really
does mean


Thanks again,
San

This is a beautiful story. Very well written.



I'm owner of the ezine (http://www.4jellybean.com) and Teen Jellybean. This would be perfect for our Nonfiction section in the Teen Jellybean.



If you would consider allowing me to publish this for you, the copyright, of course remains yours. I would need a bio, a name you want it published under (pen or real) and an email addy in case someone would like to personally contact you about your work.



If you have any questions, please email me.

I'm anxious to hear from you.

San

Judging by the rating this has received, I take it you had the misfortune of having a pro-war activist stumble across this piece. I, however, really enjoyed reading it, though maybe a few more paragraph breaks would have made it easier to read (sorry, I just have to point out something in every piece I come across).



I am an American, but I am also appalled at the way that America and Britain have handled this campaign. It was a day of pure humiliation for me when these countries decided to go against the UN and enter Iraq (and yes, you're right, it *was* an invasion, no matter what we're being told). News programs began their routine flag-waving and breast-beating, telling viewers that we were going to "own" Iraq in three days. The humiliation that I'd felt remained, but made room for anger and sadness, as well.



The display of arrogance and ignorance is disturbing to witness, as is the silencing of every dissident voice here in America. If one does not wave the flag and pledge body and soul to our "wonderful" president (read, "dictator"), one is considered to be unpatriotic. If that is the case, so be it. There is a time when patriotism and national/ethnic affiliation must take a backseat to a simple consideration of humanity. The people that we have invaded, killed, and are continuing to antagonize are human beings just like everyone else, and they deserve to be treated as such.



To hear the American troops speak on television, that they "aren't ready to leave Iraq", is infuriating. Obviously, these men and women were ignorant enough to buy the lies coming from the White House, and are too narrow-minded to believe that their leader may actually be wrong. I also see eerie similarities between the U.S. of today and the Germany of WWII.



With the military in the president's back pocket, so to speak, it is really hard for an ordinary American citizen to do anything about current events. My only source of comfort is a theory that states that all civilizations rise and eventually collapse upon themselves. For the sake of the entire world, let's hope that the U.S. will fall before they have a chance to commit any more heinous acts of arrogance and greed.



(By the way, I'm not sure if you're an American or not, but if you aren't, I just ask that you please don't judge us all by the image this country has shown the world. There are some of us over here that are just as sickened by it as you are.)
