Engaging Our World: 21st Century Diplomacy

 

“I do not think America wants to change its collective mind on Muslims.

Instead of going overseas and meeting with all the Muslim nations, President Barack Obama should be going all over America to see the conditions Americans live in.

He is trying to tear up everything America stands for. To the Muslim nations, anyone who is not Muslim is an "infidel." To them, any gentile, Jew or Christian only deserves death.

The American Dream

"America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men. "-Woodrow Wilson

It has been many years since the time of  American Dreams realized. It would seem, since the birth of this great nation, that we the people have forgotten to realize the vision.  A vision , that sculpted the mountain of the American way and made the U.S. the pinnacle of the World. Founded on the principles of liberty, freedom, and justice for all, we have throughout history contradicted the very principles that made us who we are. We as America have been the wind that has carried democracy, natural rights, and freedom throughout the valleys of the world, yet we deny many who are our fellow the natural right for well being.

Dear America

Dear America,


"For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future. "- John Fitzgerald Kennedy


We have come to a time in American History, where  the hour of change is at hand for every American citizen. It is now apparent that  we as Americans have allowed the past administration to neglect the very nation we hold so true. Under the administrations past have allowed our troops to fight for honor in a dishonorable war and our economy  slip into economic peril. For far too many years we have bled our economy with two wars and as a result we have lost jobs for hard working Americans, neglected our infrastructure , and crippled our credit market. We have fed the bellies of fats cats in Washington and Wall Street to the point that the entire  U.S. economy is suffering from economic starvation.
