Dear Mr. President:

It is inconceivable that  7 billion humans can be held in perpetual fear and pain by the actions of a few madmen, in the fullest meaning of the word. I have the sense that you realize that the solution to this aberrant situation is to  first of all recognize that it is a world problem not a United States of America problem. I see that you are striving to unite other nations to confront the situation.

I think that it is time for us to involve not just the handful of other nations that you mentioned the other day, but the United Nations. The whole world is suffering behind the actions of a very small number of individuals. Few problems are national anymore, and this is clearly a world problem, and we need to involve the world in its solution.

The people of the world cannot tolerate this kind of insanity any longer. We, as a world people, must say ENOUGH and act as One.

Anything else will be a halfway measure. It may retard the slide down the slope to disaster, but will not, because it never has, stop it.

As it was pointed out in 1858, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”   Then it was a national issue. Now it is a world issue. Involve the United Nations.

Rivers of blood were spilled to bring the UN into existence. It is the only tool we actually have that will work. Please, go there. Talk to the people of the world. It is our world.

Lots of love
