Dear Obama,
regarding the events happening in the Middle East and North Africa, it is strongly suggested that you should consider instituting the Marshall Law in these countries. The Marshall Law, if used effectively, could "combat poverty and disease and allow the continent access to markets in the industrialised world". There is an opportunity for the US instituting the Marshall Law in these countries besides the growth of those countries. We can build a trade relationship with countries such as Libya, and Afghanistan. As it is, there are forces that dislike our occupation in such countries, but if we were to build up the countries, and help them prosper and become independent, then they could become mutually allied with us, or at least not against us. This would take a load off of debt that has been growing due to the war in Afghanistan and our efforts in Libya. Gordon Brown, the British Treasury Chief Gordon Brown has suggested some movements to instituting the Marshall Law. I like his idea of erasing debt, "Brown proposed erasing all the debts African nations owe to multilateral institutions like the World Bank, the African Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund." If we were to do this, erase the debt off the slate and allow those countries to grow and develop, then they could eventually assist us in efforts in the future such as stopping terrorism and keeping UN law enforced.
This quote sums up my feelings about the Marshall Law to be used in the 21st century,
"'A new Marshall plan should enable us to improve economic relations and development, but also improve security in the region. We cannot open a channel for a huge influx of desperate persons coming to Europe. We call for a new plan for the European Investment Bank to invest in the region, as was done by the EU to improve stability in the Western Balkans back in the 90s', said Franco Frattini, on behalf of the PA-UfM's Italian rotating Presidency."
I hope that you consider these actions.
Thank you for your time Mr. President,
Sincerely,
Tomas Pena
