Wrong! Wrong! Wrong with America’s everything, but America’s sweet democracy!

Editor,

Without argument, globally, everyone knows very well the volume of atrocities imposed by the USA on other nations. The whole world watches helplessly when nations are being invaded by Israel with a disturbing intensity, while being backed by the United States of America.  To my understanding, Israel is the only country on earth to do what they want to do without any regard for the UN’s constitution and resolutions.

However, despite their controversial foreign policies which allow them to unfairly bully smaller nations just to safeguard their interest, Americans are to be lauded for their internal democratisation process. From the beginning of the election campaigns right down to the just concluded and amazing transition of government, there has been high sense of political maturity and pure democracy.  The whole world watched with excitement and hope, witnessing a peaceful transition as Obama took the oath of leadership.

Therefore, everything can be criticised except the magnitude of their democracy, displayed throughout the whole election process. Finally, as the world is moving towards sustainability in these crucial areas of economy, agriculture, infrastructure, politics and environment, I urge all African leaders to involve their governments intensively in these areas for sustenance and development, to overcome hunger and poverty.
