		<description>Subject Peace and Prosperity&lt;br&gt;Dear President Barrack Obama&lt;br&gt;The Great Leader of the World&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I Agha Dilbar have sent Mr. President 100 registered research Letters (1000 new ideas to develop America and to Change the World for Peace and Prosperity) through Embassy of USA Islamabad till today and also direct sent these registered Letters to Whitehouse Washington DC 20500.These letters have been  written on the guidelines of CHANGE WE NEED. And these letters are about the Common Men Problems of respected American Peoples and their Solutions. To end, Economic Recession, Unemployment and to Finish War, all round the World for Peace and Prosperity. In these letters I have sent one thousand new scientific Planning /Suggestions, about every walk of life for Peace through  Friendship Progress and Prosperity all over the World.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear Barrack Obama, the Great Leader of the World, my Friend, my Brother, Provide&lt;br&gt; an opportunity to Agha Dilbar to pay an Official Visit to America, that we two brothers can sit together and by halting this horrible war(In this war 1-million peoples have died from 9/11 till today, if this war continues, it will become the 111- World War.200-Million people would die, if 111-World War is triggered) can take out 6.5 billion people of the World from  abyss of destruction and then put them on the road to Progress and Prosperity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear President Barrack Obama considers, from 9/11 till today, America has conducted&lt;br&gt;many war operations in connection with War on Terror, resulting the circle of war has spread hundred times. Millions innocent persons have died. Many&lt;br&gt; more have been rendered homeless. One Lak (10000) war affected youth joined the army of Al-Qaida and Talban by the help of anti American countries have begun  gorilla war in a horrible manner. It is the result of wrong war strategy.  I Agha Dilbar desire to solve all above mentioned problems in a meeting with President Barrack Obama by adopting new revolutionary planning by brining  an end to present gorilla war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the  result the World can enter in a peaceful, advanced and progressive world, May it be so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I Agha Dilbar have a new War Strategy to achieve success through Table Talk between Talban, Pakistan and American Govts. 90% of Talban that are fighting  against Pak Army belong from Swat and Tribal Areas of NWFP. I can provide  America all realistic facts in such manner that their implementation could  convert these Talban into Patriotic Citizens of Pakistan. In this War Strategy  Pakistan Gov will never send his Heavy Artillery, Tanks, Cannons and Air craft in war. In this way 5-million persons will never Displaced.  In the end Talban by their will handover, their Weapons to Pakistan Gov,  they will come to Table Talk and Suicide Bombing will come to an end in Pakistan. Through this War Strategy Pakistani and American Govts can save expenses&lt;br&gt;on war. Through this planning American and Pakistani Govts can utilize their saving on war budgets for development of Schools, Hospitals, Colonies,  Markets, Roads, Bridges, Dams, Canals and Industries of Swat and Tribal Areas of NWFP that are war affected. On account of present war strategy ,Billion Dollars are being waisted yearly.&lt;br&gt;This war can cause Fall of America instead of continuation of war,my best suggestion for America must keep his Supper Power on the World and should conquer the World instead of war, but by his No-1 scientific tecnology spending on agricular,trade,education, scientfic development and tourisim,all round the World. making an end to Economic Crsis in America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A new Global Package is being offered for your kind honour.America will have to make complete and final announcement that in future all Multinational American Companies to get free land on 20-years lease and will set up under the BOOT agreement (in undeveloped and poor countries) factories,mills fivestar  hotels, schools,colleges,universties,hospitals,air companies ,shipping companies,latest railway, bus transport and steell mills.All these companies will  be bound to handover without any cost to to underdeloped and poor countries  well as their machinery and transport after 20-yaars. A new suggestion in connection with Global Peace is offered that in return of export American Agricultuar and Industrial Products, will give his 50% prophit to the exporting countries and utilize as Aid on the development  of agriculture,industry,trade,education and tourisim.This suggestion,macking an end to American Economic Crsis and get full support to enhance his Foreign Public  Relations.May it be so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To make soccessful American Foreign Policy on Global Leval the following planning&lt;br&gt;is put before:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a) America will have to provide free scholer ships at least to ten top master  students (in each country) of medical and science in underdeveloped and poor countries of the world.&lt;br&gt;b)Hiighly educated and well trained one hundred cultural groups (each group contains 100 persons)will have to arrange one hundred cultural shows for three months in big cities of underdeveloped and poor countries.&lt;br&gt;c) America will have to arrange exhibitions through his Embassies for his latest  products, in the underdeveloped and poor countries .All these mentioned  above industrial exhibitions will be arranged contiously for two months.In the above mentionsed exhibitions present products will be sold except  export order booking. In mentioned above exhibitions,American Cultural Programme show will have to arrange and American Traditional Dishes will be kept for sale.

This letter is my Great Peace Mission  plan which is continued. Present Global Economic Crisis is the result  of War on Terror. This Crisis if further accelerates could initiate a 111-World  War. Please hear my Voice of Truth; I can save the World, for my Great Peace Mission, with the help of President Barrack Obama, Peace and Prosperity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mr. Barracka Obama you are not only the Leader of America, you are Great  Leader of the World.

		<description>Why not give all Americans that file a Income Tax Return who are 21 years of age or older, one household, get a stimulus million dollar check (tax free). Which have to pay off their own forecloser (get thier own houses back), mortgage, paying off all credit card debts, pay off income tax debts delinquent, have to pay off a car or buy a new car, by putting all that money back into the small and large businesses. By doing this it could create shorter unemployment lines, less welfare, less bankruptcy, and create more income for all businesses large and small. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED A BAILOUT!!! This is my personal opinion.</description>

		<description>After Democraftic party take over, we should reverse some change what Bush had done in favor of the rich.&lt;br&gt;1. Overtime should include the time worked not at the scheduled hours, not more than 40 hours a week. Of course these hours must have proof of working for company.&lt;br&gt;2. If employees not use up vacation hour, employer should not think employees give up their right. More than 2 years ago, employees used to be paid for un-used hours.&lt;br&gt;Bush change these at 1st and second terms in favor of the rich, and the rich still move oversea.&lt;br&gt;Thank you&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best Regards,&lt;br&gt;Robert Chen</description>

I&#039;d noted Sonal was at &lt;a href=&quot;http://Google.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google.org&lt;/a&gt; when I mentioned her position in a previous article, by the way --  which isn&#039;t necessarily less of a plus. Maybe her breadth of experience would be good for the CTO job?</description>

		<description>PrivatePete, the point is that they&#039;d be pre-populating the site, which can be good for jump-starting interaction. But I see your point, too.</description>

		<description>fyi, Sonal is an amazing &amp; brilliant person, but unlikely to take a CTO-focused role.  her expertise is financial/managerial, and her work at &lt;a href=&quot;http://Google.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google.org&lt;/a&gt; (note: *not* &lt;a href=&quot;http://Google.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google.com&lt;/a&gt;), Goldman Sachs, Treasury Dept, &amp; IndiCorps has focused on finance &amp; policy topics, also humanitarian efforts, rather than technology engineering.  while she is certainly tech savvy, i&#039;d be surprised if she took on such a role.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;personally speaking, i imagine the CTO role will be a challenging one with multiple cross-functional reports.  not necessarily a silicon valley insider&#039;s highest aspiration, as much as it might serve our country in a very important function.</description>

		<description>Are you guys drunk?  Obama is not interested in Citizen feedback any more than Bush or Clinto were.  They just want you vote every 4 years.</description>
