Dear Amani,
While I do not agree with everything you or your neighbors have done to my daddy,my siblings and I,I still think it's nice to extend a greeting towards you,and an olive branch of possible peace as well.
Plus, I'm a bit lonely up here.
So, how are you and your people?
With an olive branch in hand, Alice. R. Jones AKA Maine, the 23d daughter of America
Dear Alice or Maine (which do you prefer),
I know that while you do not agree with everything that I have done, I as a country have not done it. I had (thank you God, and yes, America for that) a crazy-ass boss. He was responsible for ruining my foreign relationships and he was the one who went to war with your father. Also the story that you here is one sided. Your father accused me of having dangerous weapons, but did I, no. I was invaded for oil, and accused of things that I as country, and as a person do not believe in. All the violence that was caused by my boss is nothing that I support, and even though it was caused by my boss, I'm the one that stays awake at night trying to deal with the guilt, and clean up the mess he made.
And I'm sorry for your loneliness; I know how you feel, so I guess we'll just have to keep each other company.
I'm fine, I guess, tired, depressed, hurt, and lonely, but fine none the less. My people are doing better and have truly started to enjoy their new lives without that creep for a boss.
How are you and your people? I've heard that Maine is beautiful from the American soldiers that come from there. Hopefully things get better, and I can come see it!
Accepting the olive branch, and hoping for a better future,
Amani Ahmed Saleh AL-Tamimi
