This is not an article, but merely a notification to inform the readers of this blog that after a decade-long delay, I have finally uploaded an article I sent to President Barack Obama in May, 2009 to a blog I had created for that very purpose: www.rifatafeefuspolicy.blogspot.com. It is titled “An Issue Barack Obama Should be Concerned About: The Decision-Making Milieu of the US Government.” It suggests a better decision-making process for the US government in lieu of the current one which, along with some misperceptions of its citizens that were induced in them both inadvertantly and deliberately, I believe to be responsible for much of the misguided US adventures abroad. And it is “the first article” referred-to in end note two of article #13 labelled “World Basic Education System” on this blog.
While the topic of that article has been treated independently, the very necessity for a new decision-milieu is largely due to the outcome and ramifications of the problem discussed on this blog.
Also, the proposed new
decision-milieu would be an intermediate stage between the current human
condition in the US (and around the world in general) and the higher-level
condition that will be achieved through the successful implementation of the
program outlined on this blog. Moreover,
the new decision-milieu cannot remedy all the ills of the current setting; its
full potential being realizable only by the transformation expected of the
human condition through this program, although it would certainly help to minimize,
even if not totally alleviate, the most pressing downsides of the current
problems. And how successful the presently suggested milieu will be depend on a
number of factors – the will to recognize the existence of a problem to begin with
and subsequent willingness to understand and then face the situation being
crucial stepping stones that are vital for the success of the endeavour.
