Dear Editor,

Reading "
A Mideast Bond, Stitched of Pain and Healing " on New Year's Eve day, I can not help but hope that 2010 will bring in a new and mutually beneficial trajectory for all the many people who have been harmed in many ways by the rampant religious extremism and violence inspired by the ongoing Middle East conflict. Compassion, empathy, conciliation and a negotiated settlement for Israel and Palestine which firmly respects all basic human rights (and the rule of fair and just laws) certainly would be a good start to the process of making peace for the people's sake.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
