AN EMAIL TO A FELLOW JOURNALIST: ON SENATOR OBAMA’S ELECTION AS THE NEXT US PRESIDENT!

Thank you for your kind words. Well, as more and more of humanity start becoming aware of the fragility of the planet Earth, the more they will opt to actively play their own small part in helping to save our planet.

That vote for Obama is part of that coming New Age - and was a vote by a majority of Americans for common decency: and for their nation to start putting the debilitating racial divisions of the past, behind it.

Those who chose Obama were showing their determination to look beyond race in dealing with their fellow human beings. That was the underlying factor when they cast their votes, in choosing which of the two candidates they felt was a better leader, intellectually, and temperamentally, for their great country.

Mark my words, if those who choose to still live in the past don't eliminate him first (God forbid!), he will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of America.

The election of Senator Obama is a harbinger of the new world that awaits us - which will come into being once we find a way to finally save our planet. Humankind will then decide that we really are one human race after all, indeed: and must unite to preserve the earth. It’s a long way away, yet - but it will come as sure as day follows night.

As for the Messrs. Silvio "Forever-putting-their-foot-in-it" Berlusconis of this world, with their 'exquisite' ("old world") manners and their very honest business methods (alas!), they represent a dying age: just as the massive budget deficits and the rubbish that is engulfing some of the 'marvelous' and 'charming' Italian prime minister's nation's major cities, represents a declining nation (from the point of a view of an African with abundant self-belief, i.e.!).

Best wishes,

Kofi.
