Dear President Obama, Let me start off by saying that I’ve voted for you in both elections. I had so much hope when you with a new vision was elected. However now as you approach the end of your term we need your leadership on an international basis.
That is not to say that you should not push for issues such as gun control, open immigration and other domestic issues which have divided the US. You must be willing to stare down people and be a leader for the good of the people.
Please become the leader which is in your soul and which the world so desperately needs. I know that this is all so very complicated because we are dealing with so many different cultures and ways of thinking. But to many, as in Nepal, where I currently live, the US has been a shining example, a place which people aspire to. I’m not so sure that our actions internationally lead to this conclusion at least for me but I do understand.
You need to stand up to President Putin and give him a clear message that this is not about sanctions. You need to look into his soulless eyes with troops ready to be sent to stare down the Russian invaders in the Ukraine. Do Americans really care, I don’t know. But you need to stand up and ignore the fact that elections are coming up in the US; ignore the right wing political pundits and the large number of unthinking Americans who don’t understand nor care about the world.
You need to stand up to ISIS by temporarily aligning the US with the dictatorships in Syria and Iran. You need to do everything possible to eliminate these “animals” from the face of the earth. These “animals” have no respect for human or women’s rights. They are so insane, this is a cancer that cannot be allowed to spread any further.
You must further work in the Middle East to end the suffering in Syria. You must also stop selling weapons to dictatorships which exist in Saudi Arabia and other countries the Middle East. Although I am an American Jew the expansionist desires of Israel to maintain “peace” must end. You have to bring all parties to the table and if Hamas is not willing to recognize Israel then you must be willing to stand firm simultaneously enabling Israel to secure its borders, not through caging people in but by helping the Palestinians to have health, education and livelihoods. The same things that we all want.
I will have faith in you until you are out of office. I hope that you will prove that I am right. Please stand up now, ignore others, but do what you know must be done. I wish you and your family the very best.
(The last time you were in Delhi I was also living there and had given a note for you to the American Embassy, in order to play some one on one. I don’t think that you ever received the note. It would have been a good match but I would have definitely kicked your butt).
