Last Day/ Packing/US Policy

Today is my last day in Jordan. Guess what? I have not one but two hotel rooms to
pack up! I just picked up laundry and dropped it at Al Manar. Someone has been in
my room and made a mess. It looks like a hurricane hit. Oh wait, was it me? So what's
a girl to do? Swim. After this I will go to the pool for a few hours and then shower
and pack. The schedule is we are leaving AL Manar at 6:30 to go to a party at Jafar's
house (our guide) then we will go from there to the Airport. Our flight leaves
at 3:45 am tomorrow.. Ugh. So I am getting my rest and some decent food in me now.
All in all I'd say I had a great trip. I have learned so much about Jordan and the
middle east. I am deeply sadded by the actions of our government. We are making
people suffer and killing them for what reason? Please don't feed me the "Saddam
was evil and had weapons of mass destruction etc." That was never the truth.
. It is the actions of our government that cause
the "terrorists" to react and attack us. From what I have seen there isn't a nation
in the middle east that has the desire, let alone the manpower to wage war againest
the USA. So what is the USA doing? Being the biggest bully on the block. If you don't
agree with me from a political standpoint then look at the financial picture. We
are spending BILLIONS to kill and mame people, bomb their homes and cause major
MAYHEM then we are spending billions more to clean up the mess we made. This
makes no sense to me.
If there is a hell I will meet George W. Bush and his henchmen there. May G-d grant
us all peace and the power to maintain it.
