Shalom again, Hungary,

There are so many nations that should get a good whack on the noggin... Oy, your offer's tempting! So tempting...but I can't accept! It's taken me this long to convince this much of the world that I'm not some violence-supporting psychopath who's creating Apartheid in the Middle East! I treat West Bank and Gaza very well, thank you very much! And it's Iran who's threatening ME, not the other way around! Oy gevalt...

Sorry. I just have to vent sometimes. I'm under a lot of stress, with the protests in Egypt and all... Now that his boss has been kicked out, I'm worried about who might step up in his place. Egypt and me, we were like siblings once upon a time, when I first came to live in his mother's palace. If he gets a boss who hates my people... I don't know. Any advice?

Shalom,

Israel

Israel,

If you want me to beat some sense into Iran, it'll be my fault, not yours. ;-) Of course, it may have to wait until July, when my term as President is up.

And I can't say I know what you're going through as a Nation, but I do have a substantial Jewish population, and they feel for you.

By the way, something that might cheer you up: I got a letter yesterday from Egypt that I think you'll find reassuring.

Shalom,

Hungary

Hungary:

Economy is crap. Protesters driving me insane. Lost my boss. Worried about potential new boss. Don't want to hurt Israel, but I may have to. She's a good girl. Keeps crazy brother Gaza in line. I like her.

Why did America drive my people to this with his talk of democracy? Took him hundreds of years to become democratic. We have different histories.

Egypt

Dear Egypt,

Thank you so much for your letter. I wish the best for you, and for Israel, and really, this whole situation is a mess.

America's not so bad right now…his last boss was pushing democracy on everybody. But I think he's stepped back a little. Your people seem to want democracy now. I pray it works out for the best.

Salaam,

Hungary

A/N: There is also a small Muslim community in Hungary as well. So she knows "salaam."
