Presidential Candidate - How to Fight A War,

As I mentioned in my last post, I am running for president.

One of the most serious courses of action a President must consider is going to war. On the planet Ecpealuf, they came up with a solution to this problem that eventually eliminated war from their world. When ever a nation or part of a society initiated violent actions against others, non-involved nations pooled their resources and instead of sending soldiers bearing weapons, they shipped massive amounts of medicine, food, electric generators, appliances, construction materials, etc. to the involved parties.

The warring nations, suddenly overwhelmed with gifts that allowed the common individual to raise its level of survival, became confused, their purposes for war diffused, the violence dwindled away. Eventually, all the citizen of Ecpealuf were lifted up beyond the restrictions of not having enough to survive everyday, they began to share more and more with each other and their world changed forever...

The questions arises: Will acting out of generosity and kindness solve the problems of this world? Things are never that simple and yet. Don't you want a being in the White House, who, along with having the wherewithal to destroy their enemies militarily, was also be willing and able to act diplomatically with true friendship and tolerance. Ultimately, we must show that the United States cares more than it hates. Builds more than it destroys. Accepts differences more than it discriminates.

If you cannot chose me for your President, then, at least, consider a candidate who will incorporate this option into his or her strategy. But really, you should elect me!
