Some Email from Iran

After a Persian language portal linked to me, I received several emails from Iran. Here's one:

Dear Tal G
war is bad ,killing is very bad,
we had a bad war for 8 years I grown in war .
I saw terror and killing .
I dont like war or killing.
the Israeli military isn`t fighting .it is killing people and children.
I read and see every day .
it is not fair.
best rigards

This one has an articulateness that is struggling to break out of the English:

dear Tal G,
how r u ?i wish u r fine.beleive it or not i have never written to any
bloggers but when i saw your phrase with an exclamation mark !! i decided to
write you and tell what i think of your blog.
very simple template ,calm , charming by charming i mean when u see the
colours and fonts become eager to read and follow the points,very
informative and formal ,interesting for me :it was the first time that iwas
facing the ideas of an isreali guy please don't blame me here we are under
the bombardments of our governers the media all the time repeats the scenes
which palestinians are killed by israelis guards i know that it is not the
whole story i become sad when a jew or a muslim or above any races and
religions a humanbeing becomes dead u see terror breeds terror !!
at first it looks like a political column in a paper but when u go through
it ,becomes mixed with your ideas ,feelings like a diary . i appreciate
you man .

at the end let me tell u something we (iranian)inspite of our goverment
propagandas recognize israel as an old friend ,a friendship which goes to
The great CYRUS era .
i have a dream of a day ,days with peace and prosperity for all of
humanbeings sorry me for bothering your time.
with best wishes

This one came from a Canadian email address:

Hi!
I am a 24 years old male from Iran.You don't need to
be astonished.It's not necessary for our people to
have the exact way of thinking of our government.I
think that's correct also in your country!
I have read your page and I think you are writing
fairly and that's very good.I think all of the wise
people of middle east(((pay attention: I said WISE
PEOPLE"))) are tired from war and they need some
peace, but there are still some silly people on the
both side who don't think like that.
Thank you & Good Luck.
I WISH A WORLD FULL OF PEACE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD!
