Sir,although you'll probably never read this,I shall respectfully ask you to do something concrete against this horrible problem mentioned by Dr.Pipes's article.I'm fully aware that Saudi Arabia is considered by your administration as an important ally,supplier of the much needed oil that boost American economy,nevertheless the price tag won't pay off,for the very foundations of your blessed country,considered by myself and millions of people abroad as the beacon of democracy,is in grave danger.

America's responsibility is huge.Democracy,freedom of speech,press,women's rights,civil rights across the globe only exist today thanks to America.We must not underestimate this assessment,for it is truthful.Having said that,the whole free world depends on you,only you,for Europe's political power is absent as its willingness to forster and protect democracy in a manner ONLY America does.

Your magnificent administration gave freedom to no less than two countries,once ruled by the most despicable kind.Your sheer willingness,resolve proved the world how good America is,despite the unfair criticism it provoked around the world.

As being so kind to other countries such Afghanistan and Iraq,I dare to ask you to do the same for your own.Don't let Saudi Arabia slowly corrode,spoil,poison American traditions,acting as a Trojan Horse inside America's walls.We,the rest of the world that really loves your country,beg that this day won't come.We'll pray this never should happen.

If Iraqis' hope depended on Europe,Saddam Hussein still would be in power.This is a rock-solid fact,therefore I will trust that you'll do your utmost to prevent America's debacle.

Respectfully yours,
Marcos Berenstein
