AI Thread Summary
A site has emerged that facilitates global communication, allowing individuals from various countries to express their political views to Americans. Two notable letters shared include one from Afghanistan urging Americans not to vote for President Bush, and another from the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting concerns about U.S. foreign policy and its impact on Africa. The Congolese writer, Olivier Kambala, emphasizes the perception of America abroad and the need for ordinary Americans to influence political decisions, particularly regarding U.S. involvement in Central Africa. The discussion also touches on the importance of genuine dialogue between citizens and the appreciation for hearing perspectives beyond political leaders.

DRCongo, 30 September 2004

Dear America
I am a young African coming from a trip in Europe, we have been talking about the reform of international institutions, but it sounded like all the participants were talking about the reform of the USA; maybe the world is not perceiving America not really well, maybe Americans are not really involved in their politics.
However it is Americans' people business.
My only one concern is you ordinary people of the USA who are invited to the poll very soon; your counrty is creating new enemy in Central Africa, particularly in DRC where the Bush administration is backing Rwanda in its killings and lootings on our territory.
Can you ask them to stop, please ?
If you have to re-elect him, ask him to change plans; there no need to have afrivcans in your list of enemies
Right

Okay, I think we definitely need a sarcasm emoticon/smilie.

It's getting hard to tell if someone's being sarcastic. I take it you're not, phatmonky. <crossing fingers>

I was/am being serious :smile:
 
I'm glad you like it. I do, too. :smile: I like hearing from the people and not just their politicians.
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
