[...] Jordan has a very special place in my heart. I’ve been to Amman half a dozen times in the past few years, and have come away with the sense that Jordan is the logical bridge nation between the US and the Arab world. Amman has increasingly become host to meetings, conferences and gatherings where people from throughout the region, and the US and Europe can come together. The hospitality, tolerance and openness of the Jordanian people, as well as the beauty of the city, make it a logical choice to bring people together. Tragically, I suspect it’s that openness, that willingness to connect to other nations and other cultures, that’s made Jordan a target today. But I know these terrible events won’t disuade Jordan from being as open and welcoming to the world as it always has been to me. [...]

I’ve been introduced to Global Voices via my husband Subzero Blue, and I truly wish we both were in Amman when you were there.
Your efforts are really impressive and Global Voices has become one of the main sources for updates around the world.

Best of luck, hope to meet you one day.
