>> HELLO AMERICA!
>>
>> The USA is on the brink of war. An aggressive and unpredictable
>> leader is
>> spreading fear and insecurity. His name is George W. Bush.
>>
>> Mr. Bush possesses massive arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.
>> He claims he has the right to use them.
>>
>> He was never elected by a majority of his people. (32 % of adult
>> Americans
>> voted for Bush. He got 539,989 less votes than opponent Al Gore).
>>
>> He leads a regime, where he himself - and a rich elite - enjoy
>> enormous
>> wealth and growing privileges, while millions live in poverty and
>> despair.
>> People of ethnic minorities are oppressed and humiliated.
>>
>> His country ranks highest in the world with regard to not signing
>> human rights treaties. We thank you, America!
>>
>> We know that most Americans want peace, prosperity and justice for
>> all.
>>
>> You are good people, like most people are, in Iraq, Israel,
>> Palestine, Korea, Ukraine, Australia, Norway, Mexico, Canada,
>> Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, India, Bolivia, Iran, Uganda, Portugal
>> and elsewhere.
>>
>> We thank you for giving us Abraham Lincoln, Bessie Smith, Elvis
>> Presley,
>> Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hank Williams, Martin Luther King jr., Toni
>> Morrison,
>> Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Owens, Woody Allen, Miles Davis, Ernest
Hemingway,
>> Helen

>>
>> If we can do anything to help you get rid of George W. Bush before he
>> wrecks
>> your reputation
>> and messes up the whole planet, please let us know!

>>
>> Best regards,
>> Your worried friends in the rest of the World.
