I'm 23 and right now i am a teacher's aide for special needs
children in an elementary school outside of Indianapolis, indiana.
I started reading mer while taking a class on US Diplomatic History
at Earlham College.  My professor at the time, Carol Hunter, gave
us the MER address and advised us to subscribe.

I'm a professor of English at Cal State Univ. Sacramento and I edit
Sacramento's progressive newspaper, Because People Matter.  I am
nauseated to once again watch "my" country move toward this brutal act.
I'm grateful for your action.

May I also suggest that at this time the articles on Iraq, sent to the
members be made available immediately in the Middle east web site,
rather than leave them to be published a month later.
Thank you for exposing the US government to what it really is!!!

I'd like to subscribe to your email list. I
found your site through CODOH. Your articles
are quite informative and much needed at this
point in history.
Never give up. Keep publishing your truth. We are
paying attention. The internet just may save the world.

Once again, I'd like to thank you Mr. Bruzonsky for the phenomenal work
you're doing and for taking the time out to read and reply to my e-mail.
Your web site is one of the most informative sites on the internet.
I've been forwarding your web address to just about everyone I know.  I
certainly hope WBAI invites you back on Democracy Now for another debate
in the near future.  You were brilliant!!!
 Thank you very much,

Mark, I can't tell you how grateful I am for you.  Thank you,
thank you, thank you for what you are doing.  Too few real people,
too many phonies.

====================================
    I read an article from a MER newsletter that had been posted at
a newsgroup site.  The article directed me to your website where I was
able to learn more about MER and where I also read an article titled "Do
Not Bomb Iraq."  Thank you for writing such an impartial article that so
well explains all sides and events leading up to the current situation in
Iraq.  I greatly wish more people were willing to view this situation
differently from how the U.S. depicts it and I pray that the U.S. will
at last show some intelligence and not bomb Iraq, however futile my wishing
on this subject might be.  Again, thanks for the article.

Let me first thank you again for the work that you are doing, which I
assure you I admire and for which I am grateful...
After learning of your newsletter through >Chiapas95<, I have tried to
do what I could to help dispel the prevalent illusions obtaining even
among well educated and politically aware persons regarding what's
going on in the Near and Middle East by forwarding messages to
friends in both Europe and the United States, whom I felt would be able
- with a little nudging! - to accept the fact that mainstream media
accounts often have a most tenuous connexion to the facts in the matter...

Would appreciate receiving MER. Did u hear Clinton say in his Iraq
speech: it cannot be that SC [Security Council] resolutions mean
nothing. I had to throw up.

Hello,
My name is Yahya. I'm 28 and I was, before coming in Montreal (Canada),
in France where I received for the first time a message from your
Comittee. I'm from Mauritania. I subscribed in your mailing list...
I was and I am still fascinated by your positions, your analysis
especially from the Jewish people who has the courage and the
honesty to condamn US and Israeli policies and act to make
everybody in depth informed about what is really happenning in
these last decades in Middle East and what is necessary to implement
for a peaceful middle east.
 Yahya Ould - Canada - 2/23
====================================
Dear Sirs,
I have found your web by accidnet and think it is A  great deal more
useful than the news.  It is also good since I am living  here in Taipei
and do not really get a lot of news from the states like i was used to
in the past.  keep up informing.  I do not trust the government one bit
and this is why i want to remain here in taiwan and at least i am safe
from those i do not fully trust.
