  I always enjoy any documentaries by "National Geographic" its like having a guarantee that it will be another outstanding film. Ms Chamberlin has an outstanding career as a foreign service officer. As a single parent I think she has shown her 2 daughters another life and they are lucky to have a mother to show them how a woman can have a career that has Honor and Respect also to be a great Mother. I highly respect her for the decsion on leaving her post in Pakistan. Signs of the times are now very dangerous times to be a Diplomat or foreign officer. I respect her services as an Ambassador and her other diplomatic positions. What a brave dipomatic person. Howard Baker was the perfect ambassador for Japan. He has a great personality. What an outstanding man with a great history of a career and his service to our country. I followed Mr. Baker career and I respect him for serving and devoting a life time career serving the USA. If he ran for President I would of voted for him! I bet he has great memories living in Japan. Prudence Bushnell was an amazing & outstanding ambassador to Kenya, Her bravery is remarkable. I highly respected her decision to stay and continue her work during the al-Qaeda agents bombing. Now in Guatemala she has to deal with the corruption of the President of that country and such a high unemployment. I like her straight forward talks with the corrupt President. I really enjoyed the inside details of the life of a diplomat. May all Ambassadors, diplomats and foreign officers be safe. Thank you all for doing an outstanding job,

  I have nothing but respect for the challenging and sometimes unrewarding work our Ambassadors/diplomats are doing on our behalf. I lived on the Embassy compound in Islamabad, Pakistan during the October 1999 military coup and November 1999 terrorist rocket attack on the Embassy. That was under Ambassador Milam. In a short 18 months, I learned a lifetime of lessons...religion, terrorism, ignorance, poverty, literacy, diplomacy. I came to deeply respect and love a great many Pakistani's..if it were still an accompanied tour, I'd go back without hesitation. A dear friend and her daughter were killed in a church bombing after we moved to neighboring India by men who believed that they were carrying out the Will of God/Allah. A tragedy on so many levels. If I were to offer a single suggestion that would make a difference, it would be education. Children in Maddrassa's can't read the Holy Quran, so they can only trust that what they're being taught is in line with God's/Allah's actual word and the intention of the verses. Being given food, clothing, a roof, affection and medical care promotes that trust. That's where the next terrorism begins in Pakistan...with innocent hungry/homeless children desperate for rescue. I trust our Ambassador knows this all too well and doesn't require advise from a military wife, so it's to other Americans that I write this. We must find out how we can help the diplomatic mission and help these children before Taliban/AlQeada-like organizations corrupt them into believing that God is war istead of love.
