(31,893 posts)Why not be glad that there are those willing to arrange this sort of people-to-people contact? It's not about making "everything all better", it's only about meeting some people from a country that our country smashed to pieces. I think, at the very least, we owe them an opportunity to speak about their experiences.

(6,119 posts)i'm not sure anything will make things all better but it is nice opportunity to be with interesting people who do do things to make this a better place and to spend the evening on the Mississippi in the summer is usually pretty nice. Also hear there will be a local host from 950am radio also. There will be Veterans going to it, and the McDonald sisters who are sisters.
