Text of Gadhafi letter to Obama
WASHINGTON
----
Our son, Excellency,
President Obama
U.S.A
We have been hurt more morally that physically because of what
had happened against us in both deeds and words by you. Despite all
this you will always remain our son whatever happened. We still
pray that you continue to be president of the U.S.A. We Endeavour
and hope that you will gain victory in the new election campaigne.
You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken
action. I am sure that you are able to shoulder the responsibility
for that. Enough evidence is available, Bearing in mind that you
are the president of the strongest power in the world nowadays, and
since Nato is waging an unjust war against a small people of a
developing country. This country had already been subjected to
embargo and sanctions, furthermore it also suffered a direct
military armed aggression during Reagan's time. This country is
Libya. Hence, to serving world peace ... Friendship between our
peoples ... and for the sake of economic, and security cooperation
against terror, you are in a position to keep Nato off the Libyan
affair for good.
As you know too well democracy and building of civil society
cannot be achieved by means of missiles and aircraft, or by backing
armed member of AlQuaeda in Benghazi.
You -- yourself -- said on many occasions, one of them in the UN
General Assembly, I was witness to that personally, that America is
not responsible for the security of other peoples. That America
helps only. This is the right logic.
Our dear son, Excellency, Baraka Hussein Abu oumama, your
intervention is the name of the U.S.A. is a must, so that Nato
would withdraw finally from the Libyan affair. Libya should be left
to Libyans within the African union frame. The problem now stands
as follows:-
1. There is Nato intervention politically as well as military.
2. Terror conducted by AlQaueda gangs that have been armed in
some cities, and by force refused to allow people to go back to
their normal life, and carry on with exercising their social
people's power as usual.
