Language: English. Brand new Book. Dear Uncle Sam is an extended letter addressed to Uncle Sam, the darling of the nation. In this letter, the author has generously admired Uncle Sam for the good he has done to all of us, yet, at the same time, he has taken him to task for his actions which contradict the fundamentals of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United State of America and the spirit of democracy and human rights. If Uncle Sam could appreciate humor, he would not be disappointed. The author has woven plenty of it into the tapestry of 400 years of history, politics and current affairs. Nonetheless, there are moments that may bring tears in his eyes, if he had a tender heart. It is hoped that after he has read this letter, he would look deep inside him and do a little more, a little better and do it differently than just finger pointing and finger-poking. Everything the author has said is with good intention and he hopes that Uncle Sam will take it in the same spirit. Quotes from the book: Jesus didn't suffer on the cross for our sins, but because he questioned our sins. Pen has its own power, but it cannot fire a bullet. Difference of opinion makes lot of difference. It builds nations. It makes nations great. Colonialism: A small number of people can afford so much for so little, at the cost of so many. When a man in authority lies, and says he is telling the truth, he is telling the truth. It takes a thief to catch a thief, but you cannot catch a thief if all the thieves of the town decide not to catch a thief. A dictator lives high on the hog and dies like a dog. There is no business like war. War kills people, but brings business to life. Dictatorship is a system of government in which millions are crucified for the atonement of one. Nip the evil in the bud, better yet don't sow the seed of evil, so you won't have to nip it. During the drought of truth, the crops of lies blossom. You can make savage a Christian, you can make pagan a Christian, but you can't make Christian a Christian. Synopsis: Taliban and Yogi Berra: You thought the Taliban were useless after the Russian withdrawal. You went home saying, "This nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." I don't know what you think about the worth of a nickel after you spent over a trillion and counting and over 2,400 GIs killed. And it ain't over yet. "It ain't over till it's over." Iraq War: George Bush didn't want to wage Iraq War unprepared. Sitting in the Oval Office, with his feet up on the desk, he was seen reading 'Regime Change for Dummies. After he finished the book, he made some frantic speeches: "People around me are saying that Saddam Hussein has piled up weapons of mass destruction and he is going to use them on us in 45 minutes. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will find themselves dead when they wake up in the morning." Khashoggi's Murder: Uncle, a journalist from your country asked the Saudi Foreign Minister, Abdul Jubair, a direct question. "Where is Khashoggi's body? "We have a number of possibilities. Khashoggi didn't have body. His fiancée stole the body. Khashoggi ascended to heaven. People do, you know, Jesus did. Dictatorship: Uncle, next time you plan to overthrow an elected and pop ular government and replace it with a tyrant, please remember this line from your Declaration of Independence: "A prince, whose char-acter is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.".
