Open Letter: The “what can I do for my country” bit!

Project Humanbeingsfirst.org | 24.04.2008 20:34 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | Terror War | World

“Good morning [America]. At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning new attacks on our country. Their goal is to bring destruction to our shores that will make September the 11th pale by comparison.” (President of the United States, George W. Bush, Feb. 13, 2008)



The “what can I do for my country” bit!



Project HumanbeingsfirstTM would certainly like to assist the President of the United States in efficaciously preventing any “new attacks on our country” and in bringing any “destruction to our shores”, whether or not it will “make September the 11th pale by comparison.”



This must indeed be the duty of all men and women of uncommon courage, to rise-up to the age old challenge of “ask not what my country can do for me, but what I can do for my country.”



As tax-paying denizens of this land, and also the first victims of all “terrorists”, be they 'pirates', or 'emperors', it behooves upon even the lowly to rise up to that cliché by taking the dire warnings of the President of the United States of America very very seriously.



“Obviously, the West must defend itself by whatever means will be effective”, as Bernard Lewis puts it. The first step of course, is to identify the “terrorists” correctly. And in “devising means to fight [these] terrorists, it would surely be useful to understand the forces that drive them.”



The following collection “Latest Reports” from Project Humanbeingsfirst is a tiny and humble contribution towards this vainglorious “what can I do for my country” bit in the context of the astute recipe expressed by Bernard Lewis.



We hope that the President of the United States will use it with his powers of “infinite justice” and genuine statesmanship to steer his great nation away from the brink of crossing the nuclear Rubicon and in getting rid of all terrorists starting with the most significant ones among them as per the touchstone laid out by St. Augustine, the founding theological political philosopher of the modern “West” itself, from whom the President can derive much moral ascendancy and wisdom (even at this late stage):



“When the King asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: 'the same as you do when you infest the whole world; but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.' ”
