Mr. President

Mr. President
I would like to congratulate you on becoming the first black 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. A huge 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.
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 problems, 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 any them 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 to know what is right, instead of doing the same thing they are doing.
By killing the Taliban, we also kill many innocent people. For every one 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 like the one on 9/11. We could get into more war; which could possibly start World War III if enough countries get involved. There should be another great depression and this time three could probably be nothing that could take us out of it.
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
