6. That is the kind of outrage that every, single person in the world should

be feeling over the injustices that abound on this planet, and never seem to diminish despite the best efforts of those who work hard to try to make a difference.

I remember after reading about the women in Abu Ghraib, one woman in particular named Noor, (who I believe was discovered by Robert Fisk but even he was not certain if what he was learning was true, it was as we tragically discovered later).

I know what this woman is saying, I felt physical pain that this country was responsible for the horrors taking place in that hell hole. And I swore never to stop feeling the anger I felt right then. But sadly, there has never been any justice for Noor. And the last I read of her was that her family had left the village and could not be found. She was raped, she sent out a note begging her 'brothers' to destroy the prison as they did not want to live anymore.

The silence about these horrendous cruelties is deafening and can make you lose hope that anything will ever change.
