Dear President Obama,

Right now I think you need help on how you are treating the situation in Libya. Right now the United States is not taking that much action in Libya besides admitting that we are against there dictator government and support the rebels. We need to do a better job of supporting the protests and revolts in Libya.

There are a lot of messed up things going in Libya right now, including the fact that the Libyan government is trying to brutally kill the rebels with things like mines in the ocean, not even watching out for the fact that innocent civilians might get killed. Thats because Gaddafi doesn't care about his people.

I believe that we need to go into Libya and try to do what we did in Iraq. Iraq didn't work out like we had planned, because nobody else was fighting on our side. There is half of a country in Libya that is fighting and if we help them we can overtake there country and help them set up a democratic government.

Once a democratic government is set up in Libya and Gaddafi is gone, we can do something like the Marshall plan to re stimulate their economy, and country, in order to have Libya on our side. We need to get as many people as possible on our side in the middle east so hopefully on day we can all live in harmony together.

Mr. President I hope you deeply consider my ideas, good luck to you n the rest of your term(s).

Sincerely,
Neil Joseph Baffert.

  1. I like that you expressed your opinion in your letter but i think you could be a bit more specific in the types of way Obama can change the situation in Libya. I don't remember the deadly words Sarah told us to avid, but you used many of thoes.
