Mr. President: Writting Assing. 4. Draft 3

Mr. President
I would like to congratulate you on becoming the first African American president of the United States. As the president of the United States, you will have many responsibilities, such as the economy, healthcare, Iraq, the war on "Terror," education and Gay rights; but the question is how you will fulfill your responsibilities.
In the past, we have spent a lot of money on war, which had affected our economy greatly. An enormous number of jobs have been lost, because big business such as Circuit city has run out of business. I understand that the war on "Terror" is one of the biggest issues in the whole world, but the way we have handled it in the past is not very effective. The mistake we have made is that, we have blamed the wrong people for our problems.
I believe that if we figure out a way, to deal with terrorism, the rest of the problems will be solved within a short time. We would not have to spend so much money overseas, fighting for a worthless cause. That money could be spent on healthcare or education. We would not have to pay dictators in the Middle East and South Asia to keep control in a certain areas for us. We probably would not be so hated if we stopped controlling other people. Yet getting rid of terrorism is not so easy.
When the Russians invaded Afghanistan; we paid the Taliban to fight the Russians and they did so willingly, but after the war we just left them there without caring about the harm, they could causes for us, later. During the war, we gave them all, the weapons they needed to fight, but after the war, we did not give them anything to feed their families with. Now they do not care if they die or not as long as they kill a couple of people with them. Dropping bombs on these people would not stop them. We need to figure out a way to stop them without violence, instead of doing the same thing they are doing.
By killing the Taliban, we also kill many innocent people. We do not look any different form the Taliban if we kill people, and justify it as, "we are just defending our nation." According to Geo News, a Pakistani news channel; for every one member of the Taliban that is killed, three innocent people are killed with him. By doing this, we are not stopping terrorism but promoting it. The families of those innocent people do not blame the Taliban for three deaths, but the Americans.
If this problem were not solved quickly, we would end up in a worse situation. We might have another incident such as the one on 9/11. We could get into more war; which could possibly start World War III if enough countries get involved. We could end up in another great depression because of the amount of money we are losing in war. Mr. Obama, you are elected because you promised this nation "change." I hope that change means, change in polices, not just a change in the executive branch.
Sincerely,


Aakash Arbab

I would like to congratulate you on becoming the first black president of the United States.
