Dear President Obama,
This being my first letter to you on this blog, I congratulate you with all my heart on becoming President of our really fine country. You’ve done good things so far. You’ve stopped torture; you’ve set out to close Guantánamo; you named excellent envoys in George Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke. But now I must ask you something. This is what I wrote in the website www.whitehouse.gov:
Are you going to continue the irresponsible unmanned bombing missions over Pakistan? I just read that today we killed 10 people. We said we had killed 5 “insurgents”. That leaves 5 non-insurgents, right? Please do something to stop the killing.
Sincerely, VNV
