Your Mr. President is coming to Germany next month. He will have a round-table-conservation with normal people too (30 minutes). I have no chance to get an invitation (I'm just a citizen). So I am writing an open letter to your President in dailykos. Dailykos is known over here too - not very well - but people know it.
Mr. President,
you promised the Americans and the rest of the world a lot of things in the last few years: more securitiy (terrorists), more democracy (America), more cooperation (Europe) - no promise came true.
- We now live in a world, that is more and more insecure (because you gave the terrorists a good base in Iraq)
- Democracy is going down in your own country - you sell freedom for security (Franklin) - how shall it be a great thing for the rest of the world? Forget it!
- Cooperation is only a thing of your own interests. Other meanings have no chance.
What is your idea? - do you want your own glory in history, do you want your "friends" making a good deal, do you want to be accepted by the most of the Americans or do you want, to tell your father, that he didn't follow your wishes (I want a real big pumpgun) - and he didn't give it to you?
Mr. President, I am scared about you - as scared as many good "old" Americans are. Your might is not eternally. If you try to fly very high - you will fall very deep and "your America" has to fall with you (as the rest of the world has to). What is the difference between Germany in the 19Fortieth and your position now. That is not the case of a real war - it nevertheless is the same situation and probably will be the same result. It will be a crash - and forget Kyoto - you will be the reason for a crash before of the Kyoto-scrupolosities. You will be the winner in that race. And you like it to be the winner - am I right?
J.D.
I don't know, what to do. I hope, that the Kossaks (and the Democrats) will find a way to stop this insanity.
Forgive me my emotional diary, dear Kossaks. I don't bother you very often :).
