Diversity in Iraq

.
Hi Big Guy,
.
I wanted to tell you about how in Iraq there is diversity in the people who live here, just like in the United States.
.
Here, some people are Arabs, and some people are Kurds.  And there are two major religious here too.  There are Shi'a Muslims and Sunni Muslims.
.
Iraq has a long history of all three groups getting along to make their country great.  They remember the things that they share and have in common and remember that they love their country and they can work and play together.  They remember that their differences are part of what makes their country great.  Just like in the U.S.A.!
.
But when people want to make trouble here, they try to point out the differences and make people angry about things that happened a long time ago.  That's silly, and just makes things worse for everyone.
.
We should all try to remember how important diversity is to a great country.
.
Love you like apple pie,
Dad
