September 22, 2007 To President Georges W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President, The late United States of America senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote that "the central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself." Mr. President,?I must?state that the geographic location of my native land, the Western African country of Mauritania, its climate and policy choices have been major factors in determining the fate of the Mauritanian people. The case of Mauritania cannot ne explained in a few words. It is complex, difficult to solve, and fraught with human danger. The older I become, the more I am convinced that, just as no human being can save another who is not willing to save himself,?no? country?can save another no matter how good and noble?its intentions are or how hard it tries. Today, it is safe to say that Mauritania is worth saving. The military junta is no longer in power. There is a democratically elected government under the leadership of Mr. Sidi Mohamed Ould Cheikh Abdallahi. The new president of Mauritania has shown leadership, wisdom, and maturity in his handlings of national and international matters. He is a partner and a good friend of America. I want you to support him to develop stronger ties with America, that will benefit both the American and the Mauritanian people. Sincerely yours, Seydou Coulibaly Philadelphia, PA USA ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
