majroj, it is everyman's burden to do what is possible to find our Common

Ground, Dreams and Desires and to pick up each other's burdens and help where we can. At least, this old lady thinks so. Thanks for reading me again.

As "Sting" sang, the Russians love their children too.

Pretty decent of Kiplking, the propagator of the phrase "White Man's Burden" (which we seem to be assuming again).

beachbelle, I too stayed with a British Brasilian family for one year in

Rio when my family left there during my senior year in highschool. I didn't want to leave my friends and they offered to take me in. I learned so many different things while staying with them, and though fearful and alone in ways, they were supportive and kind to me.

Faraway friends are very special. They keep us connected to 'others' who think differently and see things differently than we do, and they make us think again about our 'fixed' opinions on certain things.

Wonderful thoughts. One of my dearest friends I met through an exchange program. She was far away from home and my family became her family.

Friar Tuck and Tamara, thank you for your kind comments. I was inspired by

the United States going to Iraq and had to write what I thought about it all. We are the world, every 'single' one of us.
