I heard Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea speak tonight. It was neat to see the beautiful side of Afganistan and hear from someone who doesn't give up when what he's building (schools) keeps getting destroyed. He talked about how educating women promotes peace because women who have been to school are much less likely to send their sons on jihad. It was hopeful.
I hope you are all finding your moments of hope this week.

i bought this book for my dad for Christmas. i thought it would be good for him to be educated on some things of Afganistan that didn't have to do with Americans bombing things, ie all things to do with Bush. cool that you got to hear him.
Ooh, I loved that book and would have loved to hear him in person. Yes, nice to hear about hope in the midst of so much suffering.
