I cringed to read what the old man said, and yet it is the common point of view that when the enemy suffers it is by act of good and when comrades suffer it is by act of evil. Suffering is suffering "If you prick us do we not bleed?" Perhaps ultimately that is what will bring us together. I certainly get that uplifting feeling when I read your blog. The pursuit of hope. Good job Adam, my prayers are with you.

If I had a choice between an infrequent hurricane (and most of the time, at lest, the infrastructure to protect against it) and living every single day in a society in which I am powerless as a citizen, surrounded by official corruption, and the sort of enforced poverty and destruction of initiative that it creates, I think I know which I would choose. Then again, one of the reasons I moved from New Orleans is because it may be the American city that most resembles those of underdeveloped nations--but is still quite a far cry. People everywhere should learn that corruption leaves us vulnerable to disasters, whether they be natural or caused by our own shortcomings.
But note to them that it certainly appears Allah protects Minnesota, Wyoming, New Mexico, etc. from all these things--and perhaps better than Iraq. The economist would point out that Islam is not the proper regressor for explaining Allah's protection.

Adam, thanks so much for sharing all of this. I know many people think that the man's attitude about Katrina is because of his being in Iraq. The fact of the matter is, that kind of religious fundamentalism and reasoning exists all over, including America. We had leaders here, religious and political leaders, who said Katrina happened because of our involvement in Iraq. Its not right. But it happens everywhere. That is important to remember.

Take care of yourself and keep your eye out for a package from Jim and me.

Love,

Jeanmarie

Adam,
you are such an amazing writer, its so sad to see how they live in such a medieval time, and that they dont understand the true meaning of GOD(Allah). Stay safe and keep looking for more boxes from the Harmon family we are so proud of you and your guys!!!!

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me to hear someone of his belief say what he did. I do not understand it, the whole concept of it, and how so many people are followers of it.

Great job as usual. You provide such wonderful detail. Thank you!

it's weird to know somebody could say something so tactless about 10,000 deaths, regardless of their religious background. i can't think for a second that allah would approve.
