DEAR LEADER AND CONCERNED HUMAN BEING

COVER LETTER FOR THE POEM, THE PRESIDENTS PLAN

“The American Administration wanted Iraq to invade Kuwait.”

As a high school guidance counselor, I am well aware of how a person is who thinks that he or she has heard a direct message from the Eternal GOD. Nevertheless, I have concluded that this is precisely what I experienced approximately one month after Iraq invaded Kuwait. It is obvious that there are potential psychological explanations of my experience, which may preclude belief in a Supreme Being. Yet, I remain convinced that for the Eternals’ own reasons, He personally spoke to a blundering but sincere individual this important moral and political message. It is relevant to emphasize that previous to the statement, “The American Administration wanted Iraq to invade Kuwait,” being suddenly and emphatically spoken deep inside my being, I had never before even considered the possibility that the U.S. Administration had calculatedly intended for Iraq to invade Kuwait.

The significant reality is not whether GOD spoke this message. Rather, the real issue is whether its content is basically true. Of course, if its Source was GOD, it is true, and not only the American people have been deceived but also the international community has been arrogantly misled by U.S. leaders. In that case, American leaders have not only set Americans against the world community, but our deception has also put us in the position of opposing the Living GOD.

It is horrible that U.S. leadership would deceive the U.N. Congress, the news media, the American people, and the entire world community. It is severely alarming that the American leadership appears to have made a mockery of the clear intent of the United States Constitution by manipulating Congress to sanction massive violence against Iraq. Yet, it is more ominous that we, the American people, would continue to allow ourselves to be manipulated and deceived due to our own passivity and unwillingness to do the work of exposing deception.

The enclosed poem is my own attempt to sort reality from clever, pervasive propaganda. If its portrayal generally wrong, I beg the forgiveness of America leadership, people everywhere, and the Almighty, for my adding difficulty to an already complex problem. Conversely, if the poem’s message is basically correct, deep repentance is required at all levels of our representative government, and throughout our national community, for we are a nation in grave trouble with both humankind and GOD.

Respectfully,
