Dear Frank, Many thanks for your great work on the criticism of U.S. militarism. I looked at your websites and admire their critical content. But the criticism - it's only half the story, even less. We can sink and drown in the criticism and do not add any positive iota to global peace, and this is happening now and what is also helpful and too useful to militarism. Militarism fears only positive alternatives. In my opinion, other and the most important work relates to the creation and positive transformation of the U.S. from the first world warlord in the first world peacemaker. And for that, the U.S. has a huge background and the opportunities that await uniting in the right direction of peacemaking. GHA offers like combining and transforming basis into the Science of Global Peace (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=582). In this regard, we are happy to invite you to the membership of GHA and join with your powerful intellectual potential to our positive scientific direction in the peacekeeping activity. Do you agree to cooperate with us? If so, your first and most important step here would be your letter to President Obama as Nobel Peace Laureate. I read your unflattering opinion about him. But let us, you first of all, to make another attempt and new step. Did you read the GHA draft of the letter that I sent to Charles? Could you edit it in your style and send it to President Obama? His response to similar letters will show who he is truly: a peacemaker or a militarist. Similar letters - this is a very good test for him. Do you agree with that?

Brian Willson, Vietnam Veteran -Wages Unconditional Peace against U.S. imperialism Obama is part of the system. He is not a peace-maker at all. He is a trick presented to the American people. He represents the corporations and the war machine. And most all of the people in the congress and the senate are the same. I?m sorry to say this but it is true. And most Americans are only concerned with their life and do not want to see what those of us in the anti-war peace movement have been trying to tell them. It is the Big Lie. The Matrix. ?1984? come to be real. There is a fairly big peace movement here but we are relegated to the alternative media. The biggest person in the alternative media is Amy Goodman with her daily program titled: Democracy Now: www.democracynow.org ? which is now on over 1,000 radio & television stations. Michael Moore has made some great movies telling much truth: Fahrenheit 9-11: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY0OCdHICCo ?- www.michaelmoore.com ?- But once again, most Americans are busy with their own life and do not want to know that the United states is the biggest terrorist country in the world. I will send you a list of some other excellent anti-war films telling the truth about the United States that you can watch on line.

On the one hand, we see America as "a state of permanent war" (see an excellent article on this topic Prof. Dr. Albert A. Stahel in the attachment). At the same time, we see in America, the most peaceful centers, foundations, societies etc. - a huge army of peacemakers with your participation, headed by President Obama - Nobel Peace Laureate (NPL). How to explain this American war-peace paradox? Some explain it by saying that American peacekeepers in the deep and hidden nature are warlords making a peacekeeping umbrella for American militarism - the first and most powerful in the world. They create one of the favorable conditions of constant heyday of American militarism and unbridled growth of military expenditures and the arms race. Is this true? Today, on the eve of the G20 Summit on September 5-6 in St. Petersburg, the single NPL among G20 leaders U.S. President Barack Obama has a historic opportunity at this Summit to initiate a key condition for world peace - Global Peace Science (GPS). This feature is simple, clear and understandable to any student. But why is it not clear and is not accessible to U.S. peacemakers? Only one, Dr. Bruce Cook, the GHA-USA President, decided to send a letter to him to push him to this peace initiative. This initiative is able to transform the U.S. from the first militarist in the world to the first global peacemaker ?to shift the war race into a peace race? as bequeathed other NPL great Martin Luther King Jr. Why do other U.S. peacekeepers, including the great peacemakers, do not want to use this historic opportunity to transform the U.S. to the first peacemaker in the world? This is the most efficient and simultaneously painless transformation! Only one is required, so that every American peacemaker wrote a similar letter (in attachment) to President Obama as NPL, which he received in advance in the world anticipation from him the great peace initiatives. Initiation of creation GPS at the G20 Summit and under the G20 aegis - this is the best and greatest peace initiative for the Nobel Peace Laureate. President Obama has a lot of military advisers, but devoid of peace advisers. Peacekeepers of U.S. could make up for this American lack and become the peaceful advisors. WHAT IS PREVENTING YOU TO FULFILL THIS TRUE PEACEMAKING MISSION? In Charles? email, the great peacemaker since 1958, when he created the International Association of Educators for World Peace, we do not find, unfortunately, clear answers and explanations in this regard. Peacekeeping letter to NPL Obama requires from a peacemaker maximum of one hour and an ETHIC DESIRE to serve world peace. In this regard, let me ask Charles and every American peacemaker: WHAT you lack - the first (one hour) or second (desire)? GHA and global civil and peace-making society is hoping that at the U.S. peacemakers will find one hour of time to carry out the mission of the peace adviser for the NPL President Obama. We see that dozens of GHA members-peacekeepers from other countries have found the desire and time to write and send a similar letter initiating GPS to their heads of states and governments: Russia, India, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Nigeria, Ghana + (pending) Argentina, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Pakistan and so on, as well as the UN and UNESCO. What prevents American peacekeepers to follow these examples as the free inner choice of the true peacemaker? There are still two weeks before the G20 Summit to find one hour to follow suit. GHA and global civil society is waiting your emails about your letters to Nobel Peace Laureate to President Obama. Please, help your President to get out of the military captivity and environment helping his mission for global peace.

The letter you composed for me or, as a matter of fact, for anyone that may eventually write him, is quite impressive and very well written. You caught me during a time when I am somewhat stressed with a lot of work. I do not feel I can concentrate thoroughly under the circumstances to do this kind of job at this moment. I am right now preparing to leave for Malta, Switzerland and Spain. I propose we ask another in the USA for this task someone like Dr. Noor Gillani, Dr. Laj Utreja, Dr. Arlester McBride, Dr. Dominica McBride, Ms. Lana Yang, Dr. Terrence Paupp, Ms. Tania Hering, Mr. William Thompson, Dr. Thomas Brindle, Mr. Frank Dorrel. I am sending a copy of this message to the 10 names I just indicated to write such the letter you proposed to President Obama which I know it is very appropriate, pertinent and important by all means. Please feel free to contact them yourself as well if you wish. As far as I am concerned, I love doing the work you proposed. I find it challenging and highly appropriate but, as I stated, at this time I cannot concentrate on such an assignment considering that within a short time I will be in Europe, as already indicated.
