I'm just one person

When I talk to friends and family and tell them what I saw in Jordan, people say to me, "Suzi, I'm just one person, what can
I do?" I have no answer to that question. Who am I? I too, am just one person. I wrote to the editor of the Contra Costa
times. I tell everyone that asks, what I saw. How terrible the war is and how it will bring down the USA. I feel like Chicken
Little. I feel like I must prepare to leave the country and take my children with me. Sarah wants me to write a book. I'm writing
the blog until I figure out what to do.
Is time running out for the USA. Will this war really bankrupt us? Is Bush the worst President ever? Am I the one that has
finally, lost her mind. I saw the refugees that are living well, in Jordan. They are the ones that left early and took their money
with them. Can I do that? Where will I go. Israel is out. That will proably be the first place bombed, if Bush and his EVIL
regime to go to Iran. I can't see Iran sitting still and taking it without retaliation!
I am trying to live my life. I'm seeing friends and making plans to travel. Maybe even return to Jordan, see Israel and go
to Dubai.. is this the right thing to do after what I have seen. The Iraqi refugees who left after the war started, who lost
everything, is it right for me to ignore their plight..what am I to do, I'm just one woman. Wendy, who we meet, started her own
NGO. Yes its Christian based but she is doing what she thinks needs to be done.. what can I do?
Tomorrow, I will write Nancy Pelosi and maybe that dumbest of all Senators, Diane, I voted my consience, Fienstein! What a sellout she turned out to be. I still have some hope for Nancy maybe she will remember what she stands for and maybe she
will be the voice of reason and maybe she will help get us out of Iraq and this mess we have made. Time for bed.. too many
thoughts..
