Did anyone who hates an entire group of people based on news stories ever go and get the right information for themselves? I mean, not just watching a computer screen, I am talking about getting to know people and going places you have heard about?
Well, I'm a stubborn person and I'm also a determined person. I don't give up. I can't, it's not in my blood. I just came back from Pakistan. I was there since October 8th. I went for many reasons, but the main ones were to show that it's not what the news says it is. I was there when Emergency rule was imposed, and you know something? The people just went about their daily routines. They did their grocery shopping, they had their outings, and didn't think twice about this American woman. As a matter of fact, many of them gave me gifts and wanted to know more about our country. They have the impression from CNN that we as a country hate all of them. This is what our news shows. Have you ever done something to prove a point?
