An open Letter to the President-Elect Barack Obama

Mr. President.

I must say you have taken up a responsibility that is overly daunting and heavy at the worst time in the history of America. America is a great country that has sadly suffered a great calamity – eight years of neo-conservatism. It needs a leader who will unite, heal and revive America with wisdom and enthusiasm. Your victory gives mandate for American to live in peace and security after seven years of “War On Terror.” As you assume your new position in January I request you to give highest priority to protecting the rights of all people regardless of gender, religion or ethnicity I write this letter to congratulate on your tremendous achievement of becoming the 44th president of United State. I am sure that most, if not the entire world echoes me in the sentiments a historical and a joyous day. I know you will receive many thousand letters like this one, but I hope that I can reemphasize the contribution you can make towards resolving the crises at home and abroad.

I am writing this letter in hope that you will not take into account with regards to my faith, ethnicity or color, but as a concerned and a proud citizen. I never thought it would be necessary to write to the man whom I consider to be one of the countrymen who has made history because of his sincerity, ability, discipline and knowledge.

In order to have peace in Middle East, we need resolution of the Israel- Palestine conflict. We hope this support will embolden you and your administration to proceed confidently and forthrightly in negotiations with both sides in the region. As for Lebanon I truly ask you to continue supporting my homeland sovereignty and independency I am confident that you will play an instrumental role in the establishment of truth, justice, morals and ethics throughout your administration and remember that injustice and transgression will eventually bring about decline and demise of your administration.

 

Warm regards,
Nassib Fawaz (Founding president LIBC)
