How many civilians need to die?
1/06/10 - President Obama - You continue to amaze me with your lack of understanding about the real problems in the world. I hope you will take the time to view two recent segments from Democracy Now. The first, an interview with Glen Greenwald, contains valuable incite into why your wars are failures and will continue to fail.

The second program, an interview with Allen Nairn, reviews your first year in office and offers concise points about the harm you are bringing to the world. “I think Obama should be remembered as a great man because of the blow he struck against white racism,” Nairn says. “But once he became president…Obama became a murderer and a terrorist, because the US has a machine that spans the globe, that has the capacity to kill, and Obama has kept it set on kill. He could have flipped the switch and turned it off, but he chose not to do so.” He continues, “In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year.”

As a person who has seen with my own eyes the terrible destruction wrought upon others by the U.S., I agree with both Greenwald's and Nairn's viewpoints. You have surrounded yourself with many of the same people who started these wars. Your continued support of apartheid Israel is unforgivable and is probably the leading cause of Arab and Muslim rage. I see no Change in what you are doing and agree that you are only making the situation worse. Please read or listen to these interviews.
