My Dear Harvey,

and I feel like a freer person than I would if I was to be any ware near the Middle East or Russia. I am Iranian.

Given the internal problems in the U.S.A., I would still rather be free to write and speak my mind than to be dictated to by any dictator or any oppressing regimen, which would disallow the freedom of speech. A civil society settles matters or disagreements by the pen and not by the bullet! This is what I like about the U.S.A. every one has an opportunity to be heard if the legal procedures are followed well. I have heard that this not the case in Iran. Admittedly, corruption is everywhere but the system must never be contaminated.

Best Regards,
Jisbond
