Dear Senator Obama,

In the run-up to the 2004 US presidential election, it was said outside the United States that Americans should have the right to vote taken away from them. All those who'd been living under US-backed dictatorships should vote instead.

a US election isn't only a US election. It's a World election.

Americans seemed only concerned with the candidate's promises to them. So the World felt an obligation to offer aid in the shape of preemptively planting a new US president, one who'd respect the rights of others as being equal to the rights of Americans.

Of course it didn't happen. The World is small compared to the United States.

The 2008 US presidential election is also a World election, which means the opinions of the World also won't matter much.

Your 2008 presidential election slogan is CHANGE. How can there be change, when your views on foreign policy are no different from that of President Bush?

Yours truly,

World citizen
