An open letter to Pres. Bush
Willie Wong Updated: 2004-11-04 16:57 Dear President Bush:
Congratulations for
winning your second term as president of the United States!
1. About four
years ago before you were elected president I wrote you a letter that I wanted
to talk to you about Christ and China. I asked you not to use Jesus Christ for
political reasons as many US presidents had done in the past. I also asked you
not to treat China as an enemy, for China is no threat to the US and US had
wronged China too many times. I had seen your two ads, George W. Bush, His Faith
and George W. Bush, The Truth (presented by Google) on my homepage. 2. Being
given a second chance, it is hoped you do something right to earn your rightful
place in history. I presented to you the idea of "historical moment" whereby you
can make history, but the moment will pass you soon, and that moment will never
return. What you must do, you must do quickly.
3. America is practicing a
false version of Christianity and paying a lip service to Christ. The American
prevailing values of money, sex and power are contrary to the Christian values
of faith, hope and love. Capitalism and Christianity do not go together because
capitalism is driven mad by greed and love of money.
4. America needs to
clean its house first before it can criticize other nations. America is facing
huge debts and deficits because of fiscal irresponsibility. It is morally wrong
to give tax breaks to the rich and powerful. American politics and system of
government is corrupted by moneyed interests represented by lobbyists. Although
America claims to be a democracy, but it is ruled and run by and for special
interests. Thus democracy becomes hollow. The military-industrial complex has
wasted taxpayers' money trillions of dollars. The government agencies exhibit a
defective culture of self-serving. It is an ostrich's syndrome to think
everything is rosy in America. America is no model for the world. America has a
flawed legal system that enriches lawyers at the expense of justice and victims.
American healthcare system is a blood-sucking machine that preys on captive
customers and enriches doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies
exorbitantly.
5. There is something wrong with the foreign policy. Learn from
Richard Nixon to seek a just and lasting peace, not world domination. The
so-called National Missile Defense is an unrealistic, unreliable and
unproductive system that could waste trillions of dollars and still does not
protect American people.
6. America created the Taiwan problem back in 1949
by military intervention and prevented China's reunification. To right the wrong
you should cancel the Taiwan Relations Act, stop selling weapons to Taiwan, halt
any military and political posturing, and declare America would not defend
Taiwan under any circumstances because America has no right to do so. It is
unwise to become the enemy of 1.35 billion Chinese and do something that may
lead to global nuclear holocaust!
7. The war against terrorists needs to be
revamped in order to wipe them out from the face of the earth. You need to
cooperate with China, Russia, and EU to do the job more effectively.
Unilateralism spells utter disaster. No nation is strong enough to dominate the
world.
8. "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any
people." (Proverbs 14:34)
"So then, each of us will be accountable to God."
(Romans 14:12) Jesus Christ says, "If you keep my commandments, you will abide
in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love."
(John 15:10)
Sincerely,
Willie Wong
