Don Arbor ( www.donarbor.com ) was inspired to write the song, "Salam Pax (Peace)", a peace anthem for our time, by the words of an Iraqi blogger who wrote during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, under the name Salam Pax-- the Arabic and Latin words for peace.
"Like many other readers, I felt a deep connection to Salam's insights, courage, and ironic sense of humor, in the face of inevitable war descending upon his home town," said Don.
The song and video, "Salam Pax (Peace)" honor the connections between people of different origins, and the possibility of a more peaceful world.
Co-Directed by Pam McCann & Don Arbor
Salam Pax (Peace) CD/DVD available now at www.donarbor.com

Well done. You should write one for Riverbend and her Baghdad Burning blog. She kept me connected after Salam stopped writing. My husband's family is in Baghdad and we couldn't/can't reach them for months at a time.
