We stay in the green zone in Oakland!

There are parts of Oakland we just can't go into. If we venture out of the safe areas into West and East Oakland we are in danger of being robbed, kidnapped and raped and murdered, probably all of the above!

Every time our Internet Technician leaves to visit one of our sites in East Oakland he says, "I'm going to Sadr City." When he returns, he says "Thank God, I'm still alive!"

There are very dangerous areas in cities across the US and our government doesn't seem to have the will to do anything about it. If they can't make us safe here, how can they make Iraqis safe?
