A letter to all the conflicting forces in the world that want to live in peace, but are threatened by war-
Quick! Before allowing the American efforts to affect us, take a lesson from Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. After the continuous escalation of the Cold War, which stretched the limits of the armed force movement, leaders of these countries decided to step back and to hear the voice of peace and reason, to calm the drums of war, and replace them with handshakes and tolerance. This is a message of congratulations to the governments and to the people of these countries. I am convinced that if the American administration's reached the goal of its efforts at this time, then there would have been a disaster.
All individuals and peace-loving forces are aware of, and see, the decline of American care of, and for, peacemaking. This is not only due to corruption in the American administration's intentions towards peace, nor is it only the result of an inaccurate vision of America that relies on hegemony, which eliminates the idea of an existence of other forces in the world, but more importantly, this is due to the American deficit--the American administration is incapable of making or sponsoring any peace projects.
Of course it isn't, we say. This disability results in a minimization of America and its policy, which is the result of the policy adopted by the administration over the past seven years--lean years for mankind--there is not enough space in American minds to contemplate world peace. These same American minds are characterized by machination and hatred. One of these minds belongs to David Welch, which is more than enough to prove my point. As a result, any project to understand the situation fails, as has happened more than once in Lebanon.
Welch is no longer one of these minds. He draws sad laughs from his listeners whenever speaking about peace.
American politicians are routinely siding with one of the parties in the dispute, through rhetoric of peace, but really for their own hegemonic reasons. When American fingers touch a site of regional or international friction, the peace project is defeated because peace, tolerance and reconciliation is not the main reason for American interference.
We must not count on the United States, but must count on isolation and keeping far away from America. In this way, the people will find understanding and peace.
Wherever the United States does not interfere, we can be optimistic that peace, understanding, development, joint action, equality, justice, and democracy will result. American behavior has led to major defeats of democracy, which, in turn, has led to a global and public phobia of this sophisticated humanitarian concept.
The Hamas situation is a clear example of the American inability to understand the need for peace and democracy. America, even in it's grandeur and old age, would not hesitate to conspire against Hamas, through participation in coups, as exemplified by the Bush-Rice-Abrams plan published in Vanity Fair.
We must keep away from America, especially as we are a few days away from the Arab summit. America's huge, interferring fingers are unable to live in peace and will try to tamper with the Arab Peace, the sponsor of the summit. This interference is capable of raising problems and, ultimatly, preventing a solution.
