That is the best thing I have read in a long time...It is about time time
someone said something good about us, instead of putting us down all the
time...He is right noone helps us but we help everbody...It is time someone
lifted a hand to help us...It is also time for those other countries to say
thanks for the help,we couldn't have done it without you...Irene Locke Read
