"I'm terrified about what is happening to my country"

An American "human shield's" ordeal upon returning from Iraq:
"My goal was to humanize the Iraqi people to Americans back home.
...When I got back they were waiting for me at the airport. The customs guy said, "What the hell were you doing? All those people over there hate us." I had just spent three weeks among the poorest people I had ever encountered, who were giving me the last of their food and a tremendous amount of hospitality, despite the fact that I was from a country that wanted to bomb them back to the Stone Age. They questioned me like I was a terrorist. I'm scared about what's happening to me, but I'm terrified about what is happening to my country. My real concern is that this is possible in the United States." Read the rest here .
