Dear Syrian Freedom Fighter

What would I write to a Syrian freedom fighter??
          If I wrote a letter to a Syrian freedom fighter I would have to apologize, not that it would make anyone feel any better.  I would have to apologize for my own political silence and passivity that has lead to the inadequate aid for their suffering people.  I would have to accept the fact that I have always taken my freedom ungratefully and have never even risen my voice in its defense.  I would simply be sorry.  I am sorry.
          I would also provide some encouragement to counter this depressing introduction.  I would commend all their efforts and reaffirm their sanity in fighting for this worthy cause, since I am sure that some of them are questioning their choice in fighting for what seems to be such an unreachable dream in their current government circumstances.  I would try to give them a glimpse of that kind of freedom as we experience it in America, which would hopefully help them to keep perspective amidst the chaotic revolution.  Just a simple story of experience, such as walking down a street without worry or care with a family member, friend, or pet of my choice, and the very routine schedule of day-to-day life.  Simple pleasures of which many are currently deprived.  I would remind them that because of their efforts today, generations of their prodigy will have a much greater chance at prosperity and happiness. 
          I would lastly caution them not to hastily install a permanent government.  While they may not seek the typical "American democracy," they surely want a government form that is controlled more directly by their countrymen.  This is no mean feat, and should be treated appropriately.  I am certain that Syrians already understand this, but I feel that future regrets will be inevitable.  One precaution against the more devastating regrets is to allow lots of time and to allow changes to be easily made. 
          And then I would not sign my letter personally.  I would leave off at something general, such as "Good luck from a concerned US citizen."  I feel like a non-gender, non-age title would give me more leverage in many Middle Eastern countries, including Syria.  Bias is inevitable.
Sincerely,
           ...
