Many hearty congratulations to CarolC and JacktheSailor, my two favorite American friends.

I would love to come to the celebration of your love for each other. Unfortunately, the zionist Sharon will not let me return home should I leave and your Bush has made it clear that I am unwelcome on his "turf." But you know that the best wishes of our people will be with you on that day.

Maybe we'll send a martyr to Tel Aviv in your honor.
