My country during the french revolution

Dear Journal,
I know there is fighting going on all around me but somehow I feel like I am rarely affected. My dad tells me that this is good for us, if the fighting keeps going on, it will weaken one of the other strongest countries in Europe. No one in my family is there fighting the war, so it does not feel like anything is really going on. However, I heard that my Uncle is off in America, not fighting a war but trying to keep the peace over there. I hear it gets very bloody over in France and the all havoc has broken loose. I wonder if that sort of idea can come over here, people who want to stand up for their rights.I hope not, i like it here.I like the way our country runs.
