Mr. President, first of all this letter represents the Greek people
and not only the outgoing government of our country, because it has
already been rejected from our people and now “counts days”!
But please, let us with all respect to
remind you that you are not coming at a banana republic, even
though some of your country (hopefully not you, even though at your
service you did not offer anything to Greece), they want to see our
country as their tomorrow’s colony.
Please do not forget that you come to a
country that only its name should inspire your respect. Please,
at least respect our
history!
Stop treating our people as a forgetful
leader bearer of non-complied promises, sharing smiles, beads and
mirrors as if we are Indians, something that your ancestors did to
the unhappy indigenous inhabitants of your continent, before to disappear them completely
as a Nation!
Mr. Obama, dear and congenial otherwise
President, you must not forget that, you will find yourself in an
allied country that was the first bastion of the allied forces in
2nd World War and contributed to win the war by paying
it with hundreds of thousands of dead people on the battlefield, as
also with the blood of its innocent citizens.
We are talking about a war in which our
country experienced the absolute barbarity and atrocious crimes of
diseased people, who massacred and executed women and children,
newborns and elderly, burned churches and priests and as they were
leaving looted everything, leaving behind a destroyed and
bankrupt country, something we pay until now as people and
state!
We also believe as Greeks that you have no
right to forget as people those who selflessly offered and taught
you everything, science and culture and all the values and
principles that contribute to the creation and establishment of a
modern state, unknown then for your newly created state and your
people, by mutating you literally in an organized state and a
society of free citizens, integral elements of evolution of a rule
of law, so you can be today the first and dominant force on
earth.
You should also never forget as people and
nation what you owe to Greeks because are those who offered you
their saying, their wisdom and democracy and eventually was the
reason that you and your
respective people can enjoy today your freedom and not only, but
also be the President of the USA!
So this priceless and highest gift we
offered you as people, you want to remove it today from those who
were your mentors, either through this inhumane and hideous
economic strangulation you impose on us by the IMF or by your
unacceptable and unethical behavior against an ally and permanent
supporter of your policy, disassociating from untold claim of
our neighbors, leaving us alone against all, to defend the
integrity of our country!
Mr. President, believe that your behavior
has left us speechless and angry as people. We believed that you
would react immediately and stand by our side as true allies.
However, it is something you have not done so far to any of our
problems. Not even for our economic issue, you were not interested
to give a solution; only coercion, extortion and rejection have got
from you and the IMF, as also you don’ t do anything for the
National Issues of our country and Cyprus!
And all this at a time that our country is
in this tragic and miserable economic situation, which the world
community repeatedly has ruled that, as a country you have great
responsibility!
Furthermore the email which has
recently been published that was sent by Anne-Marie Slaughter, the
head of the State Department Policy Planning to Mrs. Clinton, on
May 6, 2010, demonstrates the heavy responsibility that you
personally as President you have of our current economic
disaster!
So ask yourself after all these, if
our people deserve this behavior from you and your
people!
Therefore, if you come to put an end to
these attacks and dangers we suffer daily as a country, stopping
the challenges of our neighbors guaranteeing our borders as an ally
country and guarantor and simultaneously announce the remission of
our debt feeling you share responsibility of its existence, then
you’re welcome.
If you just come to spend a pleasant
two-day visit, then come
next summer as a private for vacation (if we exist)!
Sorry Mr. President, but Greece needs you
now!!!
You have already been late; our country is
in danger of permanent enemies’ neighbors and all its other
supposedly “allies”. We hope you do not belong to them and we are waiting as people to prove
it today, yesterday!
Otherwise let our people find allies
elsewhere!!!
You should finally understand that the
Greek people firstly are angry and secondly feel most betrayed by
his allies and the EU, so they are ready to change camp and allies,
something which of course would change the geopolitical alliances
of the region, with unpredictable and unknown consequences for
everyone!
Is it what you seek or not wish to
happen?
If the second applies, rush to prove on
time, because our time is
running out!
Mr President, please respect our people
and country and do not insult our dignity and our intelligence! We
know your opinion about our current government and learn that your
opinion is not far from ours. However this does not allow you to
condemn people and especially the Greeks!
So let’s all accept, it was a bad and
brief parenthesis in our modern history, as soon they will pay to
the people and country what they deserve!
However, Greece is here and should remain
perpetually the beacon of Liberty and the cradle of world
civilization for all the countries of the earth!
It is the country that must preserve
and keep unalterable all the principles, values and ideals of the
institution of the Republic, this holy constitution that directs
all the states from every corner of the earth!
These are all the data that compose
this institution and that should not be removed or never disrupt,
because then we will inevitably be led to paths that no one leader
on earth would ever want to live.
Mr. Obama, perhaps it is time before your
departure, to fulfill your duty as President and man. Do not ever
forget that history and particularly the global, records everything
so also write your own chapter!
Safeguard Greece, because then you
preserve the values, the world culture and humanity. Do it now,
while there is time!!!
With due respect by all Greeks
