Imagine my intrigue at seeing this subtitle kicking off a recent op-ed in USA Today: Why do Americans hate Washington? One reason is that it makes us feel powerless. Americans hating Washington? An article exploring how the state makes its citizens feel powerless?...

Manhattan, Ney York

 Dear Brother ,

Asalaam Alaikum brother, you should have come with us. It's amazing; we are living the American dream as they call it. Manhattan has so much to offer for us, we have a place to sleep, food, and jobs how many more pull factors do you need? Sarah works at a factory right here not too far from here it isn't the greatest but its bringing in an income. You'd do so well here if you ‘d come with us. Baba and Abbu already taught us English, we're hard workers, life here is better. I work at a factory as well I'm already making 5 dollars a week. The hours here at the glass factory are long 8-8, but every 2 months I get a day off. Of course it isn't as great as everyone said America would be, but it isn't as bad either some of these people do actually care about us. We keep our culture alive, a guy in the factory Abdul Hassan he comes over sometimes and we all pray together. Allah let us meet for a reason, he's planning to move back to Syria to just like us. Though he plans on this being his last year, I told him you should wait just three more so we could all leave together. How is Baba? Are you taking care of him? Have you guys gotten the money, I sent $20 this month. I sure hope all is well.  I know our absence hasn’t been easy, I do promise it to be necessary. Please try to keep writing our monthly letters. Its what keeps us connected.

I hope you can forgive me on it being belated, but...

I’m going to take that as I am forgiven! Though, I’m going to take it your birthday wasn’t all that it should’ve been, either.

Yes, you are.... and you could say that.

You never know until you try? When you’re ready to. Anyway.

I think that I'll have to be trying that sooner then I think. It's just an idea I had to honor Carter's memory.  

Owl have to agree with you there.

I see what you did there.
