E-mail to Stars and Stripes' editors RE: A letter to an American G.I.

This is what Stars and Stripes website reads: "Stars and Stripes is a daily newspaper published for the U.S. military, DoD civilians, contractors, and their families. Unique among the many military publications, Stars and Stripes operates as a First Amendment newspaper, free of control and censorship."

Below is my email to Stars and Stripes' editors

Best wishes,

Dear Editors of Stars and Stripes,

A young US soldier’s mother recently wrote:

“Two weeks ago he called by satellite phone, awakening Amy and me in the dead of the night. Machine gun fire was all around him, the sound of war filling our ears and hearts with grief and fear of loss. (…) He says that this war cannot be won! He has no faith in the politicians who sent him there.”

A very important debate is going on in Washington D.C. in these very hours on what to do about the situation that the US has created with the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Please, take a few seconds to read what an Iraqi woman has to tell to American soldiers

A letter to an American G.I.
Layla Anwar

I believe this letter to an American G.I. written by an Iraqi woman should be part of that debate and I am sure many US service-people and their families would appreciate the opportunity to read it.

Please, give them this opportunity.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards and best wishes for a peaceful 2007
