Connecting With a Few Iraqis in Saida Zeinab, Syria

...and now tonight here in Saida Zeinab, after an Iraqi meal with a new Iraqi friend... She is touched by us... we sing her a song... she says we are the first Americans she has met who know how to feel who the Iraqi people are... emphasis on the word "feel"... her deepest wish is that more American people learn how to "feel" Arab culture and know how warm, friendly and forgiving Arab people are... we are surrounded by Iraqis here in Saida Zeinab... no one knows how to count them but she says there are 5 million Iraqis in exile here...

we just sang songs from Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt with a handful of Iraqis in the front of our hotel... now the videos made of us are in the hands of the local internet-cafe manager... we will see what happens...
