It illustrates a horrifying emergency I hope we, as a nation, have the courage to face. Each time we put gas in a car we are buying weapons to kill Americans and other free peoples. The money trail goes right to Middle East dictatorships and fanatical movements. The push for alternative vehicles such as plug-in hybrids is not just a push to save oil. It's a push to preserve democracy. We need to stop funding dictatorships that happen to be oil rich. Enough is enough! I pray that our leaders will face this emergency and declare it as an emergency. Right now we are funding our own destruction. Oil: It's an addiction more deadly than heroin. Candidly, I think gasoline should be rationed. Thanks for your timely tale. This is a powerful story.

I haven't checked thi ssite in a long time or I would have replied sooner. A global study of world history is an interesting idea, but be careful of what you wish for: who is going to write the "one" history . I tend to think the more histories and perspectives that are available to us, the freer the society and the better informed the idividual. One history seems kinda scary/totalitarian to me. Best, K Hello Nina,

It is a real story of life which is always unexpectable. Your story is like resume of all the events happening in our recent past with the horrific results filling up all media. A wonderful highlight of our essential temptation as human beings: to live undisturbed. But these are more than strange times and we can no longer live this way. It is a sad fact. Thank you, we should all thank you for reminding us we should communicate more deeply and try to really get to know foreign cultures and what other people may think, feel or hope. Their ideals may be oh, so wrong, but we still must try to find out how they got them, or why. Would the good answer to all this be: Isolation? Can we live our isolated lives in times like these? My personal answer (not only mine, of course) is that Education should be the key. How about Global Study of the World History? How about kids that learn about World History all over the World and read the same one manual with the same cold and vivid facts about what we were, what we did, with pride, or, as the case may be, with shame, sometimes. History is a political tool and if it remains a national study it will continue to teach these future guys that they are the best, but their neighbors less so. Thanks again very much for the chance to read your story! Good luck! Nina Hi!

I thought at one time, if someone wanted to find ut who he was, he could be found via looking at recent Iranian Archetecture graduates, married to an American. I wasn't obsessed, as I was a young parent with a new home, in a new location and had a great deal of "real life" to occupy my thouhts. And yes, Mohammed didn't keep the "plan" to himself, I'm sure if he told me, he told many. And, I'm just as sure, those who heard , were of two camps: those who believed and supported and those like me who disbelived or paid no attention, until the revolution began. Hello Jason,

I wonder if she remembers the man’s name? I would probably be obsessed to find out more about that guy if that happened to me. It is believable in that if someone did have a plan to take over the world they probably couldn’t keep it to themselves. She didn’t say if that experience has anything to do with joining the NGO and doing the work she is doing? That story brings up a lot of questions. Wow, that is an interesting story.
