I've Been In Those Relationships. You Go Through Years Of Your Life And At A Certain Point You Wake Up And You Go, God, What Am I Doing Here? What Have I Spent The Last Three Years Doing?

I Went To Iraq Because I Wanted To See What One Year Of Occupation Had Done To Iraqi Society, And I Went To The West Bank And Gaza Strip Because I Wanted To See What Three Generations Of Occupation Had Done To Palestinian Society. I Found A Lot More Hopelessness And Despair In Palestine.

During My Travels In Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe And All Over The United States, I Have Seen And Heard The Voices Of People Who Want Change. They Want The Stabilization Of The Economy, Education And Healthcare For All, Renewable Energy And An Environmental Vision With An Eye On Generations To Come.
