His
Excellency Mr. Barack Obama, President of the United States of America Allow
me to introduce myself; I am Ayatollah Al-Sheikh Al-Rekabi the son of the
late chieftain, Al-Sheikh Ibrahim Ben Al-Sheikh Fatah of the tribe of Beny
Rekab (Al Bu Hamza) from the southern province of Nassiryia, Iraq.
I am also the founder of the Liberal Democratic Party of Iraq (LDPI) and one
of the foremost visionaries and theorists of liberal democracy in the
Middle-East. Moreover, I have written extensively in the fields of
philosophy, epistemology, theology and politics. Therefore, I would like to
congratulate you, your family and the American people for your election as
the President of the United States of America. Moreover, this is an
extraordinary moment in history, where the United States of America will
face the international community with a record of objectives and paradigms
that will facilitate the progress of change and reform around the world in
order to re-establish a stable and progressive economy on a global scale. Since
the liberation of Iraq and its people from the hands of tyranny, the people
of Iraq have utilized all their potential to establish a country and society
based on the rule-of-law and a novel culture based on life. Furthermore,
they strived for the inculcation of a democratic nation based on the
fundamental principles of democracy where the foundations of justice,
freedom and peace thrive in. However, this sacrifice was temporal since the
rise of sectarian radicalism and terrorism. Your
Excellency, the LDPI participated in the first electoral event and in
subsequent elections on the municipal scale and the party was entirely
funded from the expenses and incomes of its own members. Fortunately, we
were able to establish local appeal in the south, predominately in the
province of Nassiryia; however we were unsuccessful in obtaining a set
number of votes not because of lack of effort and appeal but primarily due
to lack of funding, unlike the main parties that received funding from
abroad. Moreover, we participated in the national liberation of Iraq and we
whole-heartedly supported the global initiative of liberating Iraq and
emancipating its people from the shackles of tyranny, corruption and
radicalism and this further bestowed a feeling or sense of contentment and
gratification for those nations who participated in the liberation of Iraq
and its people. However, it is quite distressing to witness the decline of
such a grateful feeling when those same shackles are being brought to
existence but with different labels and hence this succeeded in spreading
sectarian hate amongst the civilians. Furthermore, this elicited a decisive
division within Iraqs diverse population on the basis of ethnicity, sect,
and religion and this has only increased the acts of terror and the
resurgence of terrorist groups who find interest in this destructive ploy. Your
Excellency, after five years since the freedom of Iraq, the LDPI aspires to
become active partners and collaborators in establishing change and reform
in Iraq where it resumes its strength through a novel road map in order to
achieve the complete unification and sovereignty of Iraq and its people.
Consequently, acting on such frontiers will facilitate the eradication of
corruption, radicalism and the culture of death and hence this will empower
the people to demand for a positive and progressive change that embodies
democracy and where it exhibits itself as the solitary source for the
preservation of the dignity and virtue of man. Unfortunately, due to an
incoherent political agenda in Iraq, democracy has been contaminated by
sectarian and racial interests, which has emerged as an altered paradigm
that the United States and the international community intended for Iraq and
its people. Therefore, we are confident that your Presidency and your urge
for change in the political spectrum of Iraq and the Middle-East will impart
a new understanding on the importance for the triumph of democracy. In
addition, we believe it is important in accelerating and establishing peace
in the region, primarily between the Arab nations and the State of Israel.
Moreover, we utterly endorse and share your objectives and vision of
creating a Palestinian State alongside the State of Israel. We are
enthusiastic and passionate that during your Presidency, the international
community will surely witness an enlightened and progressive era for the
Middle-East as we have indicated and summoned numerously. Therefore,
as the founder of the LDPI together with its members, we are prepared to
become your active partners in urging this universal change, primarily in
Iraq and the region. I absolutely understand that you will face an enormous
task, and I strongly believe you will succeed in it. I
present my profound respect and gratitude to you, Your Excellency,
Ayatollah Al-Sheikh Al-Rekabi |
