In 2001 I was living in Odessa, Ukraine in the Peace Corps when the terrorists hit the World Trade Center. I had an Arab friend from Dubai who was the kindest, most honorable, most incredible man I have ever met in my entire life.  A couple of days after 9/11, I was walking on the warm promenade of the port city of Odessa with Jaz.  In a low tone that was so foreign, he said, "If they [Americans] come to my country, I will kill them". I was shocked, how could the gentlest man I ever met hate America so much?  I then began to study American Foreign Policy and was horrified with what I found.

The Ukraine Peace Corps had always said officially that they were not part of the CIA and the CIA would never be allowed into the Peace Corps.  But I found congressional testimony that the CIA '''can''' legal infiltrate the United States Peace Corps. I created a letter and had a local Ukrainian translator, Natasha Tsuranova l, translate this letter into Russian. The day I left Ukraine in September 2002 I secretly mailed approximately 100+ of these letters from the airport mailbox to media organizations throughout Eastern Ukraine.   

In [https://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/12/28/peace.corps/index.htmlDecember 2002 the United States Peace Corps was kicked out of Russia]. Based on my understanding of sociology, I posit that there is a better than 50% chance that my letters had something to do with this.

In 2014 America overthrew the democratically government of Ukraine, I was devastated when I found out that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Odessa_clashes dozens of protesters died in Odessa]. I walked on that square everyday for over 2 years. Every death is a deep tragedy.  But my deepest hope is that I helped plant some of the seeds for the eventual split up of pro-American Ukraine on Russia's doorstep, into East and West Ukraine.
