LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUSH
A NEW AGENDA

November/28/2004

The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States
Washington, DC

Dear Mr. President,

Allow us to offer you our heartiest congratulations on your re-election. Everywhere, the freedom fighters are happy to fight under your leadership for four more years. This success rewards your personal commitment to extend democracy and freedom in the world. You have not yield; you have not rest; you have not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the free people. A free Afghanistan and soon a free Iraq are the tangible results of your policy.

Free world Academy takes this opportunity for monitoring the main world challenges that are expected in a near future. We hope that this contribution to a new agenda would be useful and could catch your own advisor’s attention.

We will mainly focus on the present war and its main issues. Right now, successful operations have been balanced by an increase of misunderstanding in some countries. For example, there has been debate over exactly who is a terrorist or what terms like “the war on terrorism" represent. Europeans plead that terrorism is just a matter of police and justice. They refute the word “war” and claim that there is no war at all. This debates illustrates that some concepts are not understood. It is not just a communication problem. It could mean that these concepts are not appropriate to the policy and could evenly lead to confusion.

Since creating concepts is the Free World Academy’s core business, our contribution will propose some global ideas more operative than those used in the past. In short, your Administration may try to better define who is the enemy, who are the allies and what are the long term goals.

1-WHO IS THE ENEMY

Since the September attacks, the standard explanation posits that dictatorships and lack of democracy are the main causes of terrorism. This explanation is obviously true. However, it seems too abstract because the connections between some dictatorships and terrorism are not immediately obvious.

Moreover, the word “terrorism” does not seem adequate for designating the enemy. We are not only facing few groups. In reality, these groups are supported by an ideology, Islamism, which is more and more expanding among the muslim world. What is more, this ideology is clearly backed up by some specific states. In short, we have better to say that Islamism is the enemy.

11-Islamism is the enemy

Many eminent US scholars have defined Islamism: Firstly, Islamism hates modernity, capitalism, human rights, democracy, science and knowledge. It relies on the Sharia’a which is the opposite of human rights, decency, and a civilized way of life. Just like the nazism, Islamism propagates anti semitism.

Secondly, Islamism is the tank of terrorism. Many evidences show that Islamism brings everywhere troubles and violence. Of course, islamists maintain that they condemn terrorism but in the mosque, radical imams deliver hatred speeches, recruit young people and send them to the battlefield. In fact Islamism and terrorism are closely connected. Islamism is the political channel and terrorism the military channel of the same plague.

Thirdly, Islamism is expanding on the fast lane: Few years ago, the hijab the more visible islamic criteria, was only worn by old women or by women living in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Today, everywhere in the world, most of muslim women, even very young girls, wear the hijab.

At this point some scholars may object that Islamism and its indicator, the wearing of the hijab, are just a matter of religious freedom. Firstly, Islamism is not a religion because it has always been condemned by the the caliphs who were the commanders of the believers and the guardians of the holy places. It means that islamism has nothing to do with a muslim faith.

Secondly, this ideology has nothing to do with freedom of consciousness since it is a war ideology. It is worth to recall that by the end of WW2, a denazification process was implemented in Europe. All pupils books were reviewed and racist ideas extirpated. By this time nobody complained that these ideas were just a matter of freedom and consciousness! Today, the situation is the same. Just like the nazism, Islamism must be eradicated.

Many Europeans scholars contend that waging war against Islamism could lead to a clash of civilizations opposing christians to muslims or the riches to the poor's. Firstly, Islamism cannot merit to be ranked as a civilizations since it is just a barbarism. Secondly, this barbarous ideology does not not only attack the jews and the christians. It also threaten the Muslim, Buddhist, Indus and confucian civilizations. For example, Muslims are its main victims (notably in Algeria with over 100,000 dead's). Another example: Recently a buddhist monk was beheaded by the islamists in South Thailand. Obviously this poor monk was not a jew, nor a crusader, nor a rich person. It means that islamism is waging war against all the civilizations and not only against the “jews and crusaders”.

We think that these arguments should be put in a formal statement signed by an international college of scholars and then endorsed by your Administration. Such a statement could define the enemy. It could also dissipate the disinformation notably in Europe.

12-Saudi Arabia and Iran are the main islamic bases

Nazism began in Germany and then expanded in the entire Europe (except the United Kingdom). Today, the islamic plague began in Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism and the Saudi family implemented a fanatical society inclined to backwardness. In the seventies, with the oil crisis, they expanded Islamism all over the Muslim world from Morocco and West Africa to Indonesia. They used oil money to corrupt and implement Islamic regimes or Islamic opposition in an increasing number of countries. Since the beginning, they finance terrorism and provide it with leaders (Bin Laden).

Some reforms are expected in Saudi Arabia but every people think that it could need a long span of time. Within this period, Islamism will going on in expanding its troubles, violence's and terrorism. Such a situation cannot be accepted. Already, many opinion leaders are thinking that your Administration too much indulges for this rogue State. Of course, we know that this country possess the largest oil fields in the world. However, we may also bring some comfort in saying that nobody want to storm these precious oil fields. The actual question is: How can we separate the oil money and the Islamism?

Few time ago, some US advisors answered to this question. They proposed to replace the feudal ruling class and to reshape the entire country. Whatever the solution, the objective is to prevent islamists to use oil money. This goal involves a tough diplomatic action backed up by a a light military pressure: Saudi Arabia is not a real State but just an aggregate of feudal tribes which only survive thank to the west.

The second Islamic tank is Iran. The Shah was engaging his country towards modernization through a constant struggle against obscurantism. Despite this fact, we gave facilities to Khomeiny and he took over Iran. We know the result: alltheway to the seventh century! Today, we cannot accept that the mullah power get a nuclear weapon: In a near future, every European capital would be within range of ballistic missile based in Iran. Since it should be unwise to trust in the Mullah promises, a diplomatic option cannot bring any solution. It means that a preemptive strike must be on the agenda.

On the other hand, Iran is not Saudi Arabia. Iran was a civilized area before the fall of the Shah and a powerful educated middle class still exists among the population. Young people are notably eager to topple the regime. This goal can be performed through an indirect policy based on a strong support to the opposition.

With the death of Arafat, a new land of Islamism is appearing. Clearly, the islamic movements are expected to seize the power. The Palestinian territories will soon become an international terrorist harbor just like Afghanistan before. In such a context, the Israel-Palestinian road map is going nowhere and your Administration has better to ignore the European claims. Obviously, the negotiations would only resume when all the terrorist movements and their State sponsors such as Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran would have been neutralized. For the present, the best solution is to let Israel the responsibility to deal with the problem.

2-WHO ARE THE ALLIES

One of the most debated issue of the four last years has been the problem of the alliance. Your second mandate could bring an opportunity to clarify the matter. It has been said that the US did not enough discuss the issues with their allies. Of course you could recall that you do not intend to discuss with your enemies or their trojan Horse (In Europe notably). On the other hand, the USA must not appear isolated. Time is coming to establish a Great Alliance with the three big countries that are threatened by the Islamism: Russia, China and India.

Paradoxically, the US have no military alliance with these three countries. Indeed, your only multilateral alliance is the old NATO including some countries which are the good friends of your worst enemies! It means that your second mandate could offer the opportunity to reshape the Alliance network notably with regard to the old Europe.

21-Establish a new Great Alliance

You may notice that Russia, China and India were your war allies during WW2. It is the same story today. Clearly, and in order to enhance these allies, it should be wise to set up with them a formal Great Alliance. Of course, the US will keep the leadership but an institutional framework could favor free discussions, better understanding and a sharing of the burden of the war.

Of course, the establishment of this Great Alliance implies some preliminary steps towards the different partners.

Russia is confronted to the islamic plague in Chechen. The dreadful slaughtering of children in Ossetie is just a sign among other of this situation. Clearly the Chechen terrorists or the Al quaida terrorists obey to the same barbarous ideology. President Putin reiterated his desire to work closely with you in the global war on terrorism. It means that the US cannot support the activists who defend the terrorists in Chechen. The US must also refuse to share the European policy regarding this matter ( The reaction of the western European elite after the ossetie butchery was a shame). We mean that we must not confuse our enemies with our allies in war time. The US have not interest to weaken Russia

China is not yet a democratic country (During WW2 the Soviet Union also was not a democratic country. Nevertheless, the US and the Soviet Union were allies). China has huge concerns with Islamism which is extending in the South East Asia. In such a context, the Taiwan problem must be frozen. Since the chinese would like to have their regional power recognized, let them dealing with the North Korean Problem. If they do not succeed through diplomacy, it would be time to use military measures in partnership. In this case, the US could limit their involvement to air strikes, letting the chinese leading the ground battle. The US have not interest to be alone in this matter because a new korean war will not be a military promenade.

India is a friendly democracy. The country is threatened by the islamism and should enjoy to participate to the Great Alliance. It is the US interest to officially recognize India as a major and permanent ally in this region.

We must emphasize the importance to display this Great Alliance with China and India because it should be the best demonstration that the world war against Islamism is not a clash of civilization or a clash between the riches and the poor's. It will prove that it is the war of the united civilizations against a single barbarism.

22-Increase pressure on Europe

Europe is going to loose more and more its influence on the world scene. This gloomy situation is not only the result of a poor governance in some major countries such as France and Germany. It is also the reflect of the low spirit shared by the European population: Demographic decline, senility, pacifism, self flagellation and so on. Consequently, the islamists consider Europe just like a prey. Immigration from muslim countries is boosted! If this trend were going on, we would observe a civilization suicide within few decades.

However, Europe could not be for the US a subject of benign neglect. Firstly, the US cannot accept that Europe becomes a hub for Islamism and terrorism with a fast growing anti semitism. Secondly, US and Europe have shared for long the same values. Thirdly, Europe is not yet completely lost. It means that a close examination of the global situation must be addressed with targeted measures rather than with speeches and conferences.

Regarding the war on Islamism, Europe is divided into four components: Firstly, the United kingdom, and the Eastern countries stand in the freedom corner. Secondly, the German and Nordic countries are neutral. However, this position has not resisted to the islamic pressure (Netherlands!). As a consequence, they could soon rally the freedom corner. Thirdly, the French ruling class is more and more linked to the Arab world at the detriment of the European and Atlantic solidarity. Finally, some Europeans circles (big business, media's, European bureaucracy) are engaged for long in the so-called Euro-Arab dialog. These negotiations rely on the increase of immigration from muslims countries and the constant disinformation about America and Israel. This situation explains the growing anti-américanism in Europe and notably in France.

To fight this dangerous trend, the United States must develop a proactive policy separately with each component

-Firstly, the Great Alliance should be only open to the members of the first component. It should be fruitless to have some trojan horse in it. Consequently, the Great Alliance should replace NATO.

-Secondly, the US could propose a great transatlantic market. This idea shall be welcomed by the first and the second component. Such a great market will definitely torpedo the concept based on an Europe opposed to the United States. It will also eliminate the notion of a "Mediterranean Europe" which is just a tool for the islamization of the entire continent.

-Thirdly, in order to fight disinformation and to help the friends of America in Europe, the US should consider launching a French language service of Radio Free Europe. Six years after the fall of the Berlin wall, too much Europeans media's have erected a new wall of propaganda and anti-American filth.

3-DISPLAY THE WAR GOALS AND DISBAND THE UN

You have constantly emphasized that the ultimate war goal was to bring democracy and to free the people. What have been done in Afghanistan with the fall of the talibans and in Iraq with the fall of Saddam should be extended to the entire world. It means that Democracy is going to be the unique paradigm in international affairs.

Considering a new definition of the enemy based on Islamism rather than on terrorism, you may describe more precisely the liberal reforms preceding the effective democracy. For example, women rights must appear at the first place on this agenda with some consequences such as the civil equality, the abolishment of polygamy, stoning, mutilation and the entire sharia’a.( It means that the Ataturk reforms should be extended over all the muslim area)

However, many populations have not yet listen to you because the world forum is occupied by a corrupt body and its false propaganda: The UN. Your Administration is more and more convinced that the UN is a machine against democracies, free trade, economic growth and scientific or technical progress. With the oil for food program corruption, time is coming to say that it is too much. Considering this situation, the UN should not be reformed but abandoned. However, free democracies have not interest to get out of the organization. It should be better to progressively end it in reducing finance and opposing veto to any reform.

On the other hand, a globalized world illustrates the need for a new organization devoted to the free countries purposes. Of course, the new Great Alliance could bring the opportunity to set up this new organization. At first glance, it could notably include the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, China and Russia. Such an ensemble would represent more than 50% of world population and would have a sufficient legitimacy for acting.

Of course, the primary goal should be to neutralize the jihadist network and to overthrow the dictatorships in the most afflicted countries. Genocides such as Rwanda and today Darfour should be strictly prevented. In order to reach these goals, the Alliance could establish an international trusteeship system for the administration and supervision of the liberated territories.

4-LONG TERM CHALLENGES

We would like to complete this survey with some remarks about long term challenges such as education and economic development. We want to underline the role of education since it’s our world motto. As we have seen along this memo, education is the long term key for a free future.

41- Education

Education is a world challenge: In poor countries, the bulk of young people will far exceed the financial and human capacities of traditional education. School enrollments will decline and the number of illiterate will grow up. In developed countries, despite large financial resources, the traditional education gives more and more bad results.

The cause of this situation is the following: Among most all-human activities, education is one, which has never taken advantage from technical progress. We teach and we learn nowadays as in Socrates’ century. People have to meet in a single place, on a rigid time schedule, and to follow always the same out-dated content. Moreover, the content of education has not evolved and is not adapted to free societies: Negative beliefs coming from authoritarian societies are still carried on by public and private education. It is disappointing to observe that the opponents of democracy too often arise from educated people. It means that the content of the actual education has to be completely reviewed.

Clearly, we need a revolution in educational affairs. Internet and multi media technologies have potential to revolutionize the learning process. It’s a pity to see that all this tools are today available's on the market and that they are only used to promote play stations and so on. A formal statement emanating of your high authority would be sufficient to channel investors towards educational matters. According to our own studies, a transnational corporate could provide on line secondary education to students in the entire world at a lower price and with faster results than in the traditional education. This global learning system could reduce illiteracy, promote positive values and finally provide us with the ultimate weapon against outdated ideologies.

42-Economic development

Global capitalism is a success story but three facts may impede its development:

-Firstly, your Administration should weight on the WTO in order to dismantle protectionism on agricultural products. The European Union agricultural policy is estimated to cause the poor countries a loss of $20 billion annually. The US policy regarding cotton also impedes many poor africans countries. Some progress in these sensitive domains would convince many African and South American countries that they can benefit of the globalization.

-Secondly, creativity (in connection with education) is the main driver of economic development. However, creativity is more and more impeded by ecological considerations. In fact, the environmentalist movements use ecology as a new weapon targeting the Free world. Since creativity is the magic wand of free countries, the third world dictatorships and their ecologist activists (NGO) are trying to undermine technical progress in western countries.

As you know, your refusal of the Kyoto protocol has been an argument constantly raised by the enemies of America. In our opinion, the US are right in refusing to sign the Kyoto protocol. Firstly, there is incomplete scientific knowledge of the causes of global climate change. Huge factors such as change in the sun energy, or cooling effects of volcanic eruption must be taken into account. Secondly, undeveloped countries are mainly responsible for this situation through massive deforestation which is irreversible because the destroyed humus prevents any further replanting. Thirdly, We must engage in carbon storage with a big replanting program in our own territories in order to match the damage. Finally, technical progress remains the effective solution (Hydrogen fusion) instead of complex and unbalanced State regulations.

-Thirdly, we observe that a new world plague is constantly increasing: Grand Corruption. In the nineties, World Institutions calculated that the criminal activities accounted for 500 billions dollars per year. Today, a recent parliamentary report estimates at 5000 billions dollars the amount of saving accounts in fiscal paradises (12% of the world GDP). We have to question ourselves about the existence of these so-called fiscal paradises. In fact, they are fueled by crime, narcotics, terrorism and mainly grand corruption. The oil for food program illustrates the increase of this plague everywhere. In our opinion, the terrorist emergence can be related to this new phenomenon.

Moral relativism is one of the cause of the increase of grand corruption. We may realize that the capitalism cannot work without a minimum of ethical values: Grand corruption is like a cancer destroying our inner system.

Fortunately, Mister President, your election has been the victory of ethical values over moral relativism. Consequently, all the honest persons are expecting from your new Administration a strong commitment in order to cure this cancer. We suggest that your intelligence agencies identify corrupt people in all countries and release their observations to the public. The track over the oil for food program could be a good beginning in this sensitive matter.

Please, accept our sincere thanks for all your help and support.

Yours faithfully

Dr Gerard Pince
President of Free World Academy
