It Must Be Nice
Mr. President. It must be nice to make your speeches and make your decisions about the war in a nice safe office thousands of miles away. It must be nice to pin medals on soldiers for acts that occurred in a place that is so detached from the nice and ...

The Letter
This is a letter addressed to my sister where she now goes to college, Pace University in Down Town New York. I personally thought of this letter as interesting because she is living about three block's away from the where the World Trade Center attacks took place. I actually got to walk to Ground 0 and look at all of the construction, and the memorials there. It struck me as an interesting idea to write a letter to her, my very own sister, about war, because she is residing so close to the place where the attacks of september 11 took place, and thus springing the war with Iraq, the war that our country is now fighting. I remember riding back on the plane when we went back there to drop her off, she was in a good place. I hope it can stay good forever, I know she's safe. This letter is a very personal message from sister to sister, it explaines how I feel, and my opposition to war.
