Happy New Year, Mr. President [View All]

Mr. President Sir,

Happy New Year too to your great nation for having ensconced you back in that White House. Otherwise, the unthankful ones would have us believe that you, sir, belonged more to the International Criminal Court, where you should have been taken kicking, screaming and biting all the way.

I am one of the teeming millions of Muslims. Unlike most of them, however, I am from among the few thankful ones. I want to wish you a Happy New Year through this open letter, sir. I will also take this opportunity to remind the unthankful ones of your stunning feats through which you have made this world a far safer place than it was three years back. I will be a bit longish, as I find it hard to summarize your long and envious record in so short a space.

The ungrateful ones have a long list of charges against you sir, stupid as they are. For starters, they accuse you of perverting the American Constitution through the so-called PATRIOT Act and the world Constitution by breaking international law and treaties, lying not just to the Congress but the whole world in your State of the Union address by advocating for a pre-emptive war based upon non-existent Iraqi WMDs, crimes against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan and secret US prisons around the world, blah, blah, blah.

One can clearly see that these charges are indicative of some very sick minds. They merit no attention from you, sir. Please continue doing what you are doing, as with each passing day the world is virtually turning into a Fort Knox, so secure has it become. The Osamas are on the run, as are the Zarqawis, a few beheadings in between notwithstanding.
