| New Year 2010 Must Be Declared The Year of Peace First of all I want to present my greeting to all the peace lovers of the world on the New Year. Please call for declaration of 2010 as the year of peace. This will be the best way of achieving that peace. Today I have sent a letter to Barack Obama. I want to share that letter with you. Dear Barack Obama, President of United States, White House, Washington Respected Sir, Please accept my warmest greeting on the New Year. Please accept greeting from my wife Fatima and my children. We shall be praying that New Year may bring peace and happiness to the whole world. Let a declaration state "The Year that Peace was Born" and I would begin it "Out of the fire of war intended to halt the cowardice of terrorists and governments who sanction terror, comes a new concept that our world has not seen in quite a while. It is the idea that Peace and Freedom can ring side by side and that all of Humanity can be free from the curse of oppression." We in Pakistan have seen our homes and villages destroyed. In America, your citizens have faced the scourge of terrorists coming to their shores. It has been a time where all of us, citizens and tribesmen alike, face evil and injustice. I lost my home in a military operation; when I and my wife discovered it was destroyed by the army of my own Country, we were horrifed! In my life I never thought I'd see the day my own country destroyed my land and my property. My people are a proud tribe of the Uthmankehl, and we did nothing to deserve this. Now we hope the new year will bring peace to the United States, tribal areas situated on Pak-Afghan border and whole world. Love and blessing Yours sincerely, Muhammad Khurshid Voice For Peace, Khar, Bajaur Agency. |

Please join us in calling for 2010 to be designated the YEAR OF PEACE! For us to all join together in a campaign of letters, prayers, emails, blogs & postings is the best way of achieving that peace.

Barack Obama President of United States 1600 Pennsylvania Ave White House Washington, DC Dear Mr. President, Please accept the warmest wishes of both my husband & myself. We have been and will continue to pray for your safety and success...and, in this new year of 2010, we would add another fervent prayer! We shall be praying that this New Year may bring peace and happiness to the entire world. Please have the year 2010 officially designated as "The Year that Peace was Born" !! "Out of the fire of war intended to halt the cowardice of terrorists and governments who sanction terror, comes a new concept that our world has not seen in quite a while. It is the idea that Peace and Freedom can ring side by side and that all of Humanity can be free from the curse of oppression; free to live in harmony with one another at last!" People in Pakistani tribes have seen their homes and villages destroyed. In America, we have faced the scourge of terrorists coming to our shores and suffering losses such as 9/11. I could go on and on... It has been a time where all of us, citizens and tribesmen, people of all faiths and cultures, face evil and injustice. IThis letter-writing campaign was started by my friend Muhammad Khurshid who lost his home in a military operation; when he and his wife discovered it was destroyed by the army of their own country, they were horrifed! His people are a proud tribe of the Uthmankehl, and did nothing to deserve such treatment. Their tragic story is repeated in many different countries and cultures all over the globe every day. So, we hope and pray that this new year will bring peace not only to the U.S. but to the whole planet! Peace has to start somewhere Mr. President...is it too much to ask that we "let it begin with us?" Yours sincerely, Dusty Richardson Voice For Peace, Charlotte, NC 28212 www.dustysfrontporch.com |
