Dear Sir or Madam,

I don't think it's suitable not to present myself before addressing you. I am a little girl aged one, able to express myself in the language you use as a lullaby to make us sleep forever. You are the leader now; maybe tomorrow someone else will be there. You politicians usually preach things you don't really believe in. You are against war in your long speeches to the mob, but you practice it everyday. It is true that you give it different names, but at the end it is war. It kills innocent people, destroys flora and squanders the remaining few animals in the contaminated environment you "preserved" for them. I don't think you'd understand what I'm about because you are a politician. I mean not quite human. If you still feel that you are human you can do something about this decaying world.

Many people believe that our world is already so corrupt that it becomes too late to save it. This sort of belief is corrupt itself. We tiny tots can suggest the best solutions to pull the world out of danger or decay; but you grown-ups should be able to work on it seriously and don't just say, "tosh!" .What we will suggest, however, is not too much demanding. We won't ask you to "imagine" like John Lennon for fear you would think we are "dreamers". There are three major factors that deteriorate our planet: War, Pollution, and Poverty. Each of these includes a multitude of other related factors such as diseases, analphabetism and so on. What you, grown-ups, have to do is to hold the shovel by the handle and do the right deed for the right reason.It is almost an advice!

To begin with, Wars must be looked over seriously. We first have to ask ourselves the most important questions: What do we make WARS for? Are they necessary? And so on. There's no evidence, so far, that wars have ever solved a problem. ON the contrary, they have burdened the world with lots of victims (most of them civilians): Orphans, disabled, homeless, and refugees as well as swollen corpses affecting the few remaining handicapped ones through epidemics. Soils also are left barren unable to give crops for years and years. Shall we add more..?? After a long tiring war, what do the makers of it gain? Poor warriors lost a lot, but politicians win some sort of strategic centimeters on the borders. Those gained centimeters will pave the way to another war that may take place between two generations that had nothing to do with the whole affair. Hatred becomes a burden as heritage.You are working hard on elaborating and improving it. Congratulations!

At least wars in the past were honorable and almost an art. Warriors used to fight like men, a sword or an arrow to kill or to be killed. They never killed Children, women and old people. They believed that it was a shame to fight unarmed people. What about wars nowadays? They become rascal acts of cowardice, so they become devastating where everything is permitted, rockets, bombers, cluster and atomic bombs, nuclear weapons, and so on. Grown-ups are thus childish in their wars; the modern technologically assisted destructive weapons are their toys. When a war breaks out, it is just a video game which started; that's what it is. They kill for fun. Moreover, they shamelessly pride themselves upon the skill of killing innocent people (children included); and broadcast those horrible images on their TVs, as breaking news ... LIVE! . It is in no way an act of valor to drop thousands of tones of bombs and explosives on poor villagers from 5000 meters height. Only cowards do so, don't they?

As you may notice, we did not say we should stop or ban wars. That's mere idealism. We're aware of the fact that wars are a sort of raison d'étre for everybody: To defend oneself, for instance. Still the war in its contemporary copy is a crass idiocy-stemmed travesty (a big term, isn't it?!). It has nothing to do with real wars' bravery. In modern wars, we can't talk about noble knights... Machines are used to massacre innocent people instead. IT is unfair, unjust and even irrational to kill people for personal amusement, pride, or profit. It is eventually a sort of racial cleansing and this is the extreme degree of intolerance and hatred. Wise people deprecate escalating such feelings of egotism and immorality amongst mankind. It will surely end up in disasters and the debauching of the minorities' attitudes towards the world around them. Thus, the roots of terrorism will go on sinking deeper in our societies' soils. Therefore the world will start the counting down, the declination and the drift towards the hole of chaos. Even the most sophisticated weapons cannot defeat terrorism because terrorists are just ghosts that walk around and no one can spot them... "Depression" is the laboratory where these sorts of ghosts are made. In a word, Poulengey in Bernard Shaw's play Saint Joan sums it up this way,

"We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us"

As for Poverty and Pollution, that's another story of social and environmental tragedies which predict apocalyptic days the world is about to endure. As I see it, all the problems of the world are intight relationship with "profits", hence with W A R! Greed is the direct cause of most calamities. scientists perpetually warn us that our echo-system is deteriorating, yet politicians don't care because they just want to gain material profits on the expense of everything. They are really short sighted! Our planet, ladies and gentlemen, is in agony.
Good news, isn't it?!

How many of you, leaders of developed countries, think that you aren't the only ones on the planet and that there are others who are suffering your misbehaviour towards the environment?!! I bet you know! More than that you have almost the exact number of people who live on the margin of life while you are enjoying wasting the riches of their countries ...
Africa!!!! this continent is the mother the breast and the lungs of our planet. if you don't take care of it, it surely will turn against you sooner or later! the funniest thing about the whole stuff is that you are talking too much about Democracy and Human Rights; what a joke!

And many jokes sometimes make a serious standpoint! It seems that I have been long, Excuse my rambling and see you next time!!!!!!!!

What did they say about war ?!
