"God Bless America" are the words that overflow spontaneously from the hearts of the millions of people who come to America to settle and usher in a new happy life. By all parameters and dimensions it is really a blessed country. Miraculous results have been achieved in the spheres of science, technology, trade and commerce, economic, political and social life, which are unparalleled any where in the world. America has the largest number of middle class people in the world and the difference between the haves and have-nots is very small. Every American enjoys all the luxuries of life including car, house, television, refrigerators, holiday excursion etc.
However, there is still a lot more that Americans can do to make America even more beautiful and prosperous. With this in mind I suggest the following action plan:
The nature and tactics of our enemies are totally different than the past conventional wars. Now it needs an unconventional approach to gain total victory.
Whatever I wrote in this book is a distillation of my 40 years of research. I am ready to have a positive dialogue and discussion. I do apologize for any misunderstanding caused in any section of the society. My intention is crystal clear and that is to strive together to make America truly "Golden America".
I believe in destiny. It is a coincidence that I was born exactly 200 years apart from Thomas Jefferson on 13th April 1943 in India. He was a great thinker and politician. His famous Declaration of Independence was the corner stone for American freedom. He was able to get through Louisiana Purchase from France thereby increasing the size of United States of America twofold without getting a single soldier killed.
According to Indian calendar that auspicious day was also the birth date of Lord Rama that is chaitra sukhla 9th in India. Lord Rama is an eternal symbol of victory of truth over evil.
Therefore, I believe, we all should join to do our best to bring victory over evil and help establish "Golden America" for the mankind.
CHAPTER 1
AMERICA’S
CONTRIBUTION
TO THE WORLD
I once told an intellectual that most of the modern things we all use in our daily lives, which have been invented for the last 150 years are mostly American inventions and American ingenuity, be it a motor car, an Airplane, a TV, Movies, a Ball Point Pen, Razor Blade, Synthetic Clothes, Ice, the Computer or an Internet. So on and so forth.
All of these were invented and popularized in America. When I asked him to name me a few things that we use in our daily life, which have been invented by any other country of the world within last 150 years. Surprisingly he was not able to name even a single item. Does it not speak volumes in itself what America has contributed to the human society ?
Most of the things that we are using in our every day life have been invented, improved and popularized by America. To name a few here is a list of some of the American inventions.
Inventions People who invented
Aeroplane Right Brothers
Automobile Henry Ford
Telephone Grahm Bell
Computers Charles Babbage
Internet American Military
Plastics Alexander Parkes
Synthetic yarn & clothes Du Pont
Atomic power Fermy
Ball point pen Parker
Razor Blade Gillette
Modern assembly plants Henry Ford
Cinema Thomas A. Edison
Tape Recorder Thomas A. Edison
Immigration
Some people consider America, as a bastion of xenophobia and bigotry but the truth is that today the US takes in more immigrants than at any point in its history. Be it the America’s first multimillionaire -John Jacob Astor or the inventor of telephone - Alexander Grahm Bell or the Hollywood pioneer -Louis B. Mayer or the inventor of video game - Ralph Baer, all are among the immigrants to America. People all over the world always entertain the idea of immigrating to America as compared to any other place across the globe.
Technology
America has been the vanguard in bringing technology reforms all over the world and has helped tremendously in making the lives of billions of people around the world easy and comfortable. It has have given the world motion pictures, the telephone, the television, the computer, the Internet, the airplane, the VCR, and a host of other machines and devices that have vastly improved the quality of human life.
Enlightened Power
America despite being the sole superpower has never misused its supremacy. It is the most powerful country, but has always fought against imperialism. In fact, it has used its military strength to liberate Nazi Germany, South Korea, Afghanistan and Hussein’s Iraq and countless other countries. America also sought to prevent many other countries from increasing their all angled control over their innocent population and others.
Creating Wealth
America has served as the hub for the world economy. America is a country with capitalistic approach where everyone gets an equal opportunity of earning and creating wealth. Not only the natives but also the foreigners get to work for better jobs. The world economy rests on America’s 12 trillion dollar pillar.
Generosity
Great wealth does not always lead to great generosity. But, Americans have always been on the forefront when it comes to providing support and aid in the face of disaster or calamity. In the year 2000, Americans gave more than $ 200 billion in charity, which was much more than the total amount donated by the rest of the world put together. Since World War II, the U.S. Government has given billions of dollars in foreign aid, which may be taken as the highest amount in the world just given away as charity. America has always proved to be a friend in need.
Medicine
The entire world looks up to America when it comes to making any break through in the field of medicine. Americans helped cure polio and tuberculosis, developed vaccines for hepatitis B and yellow fever, pioneered modern chemotherapy, and produced the CAT-scan, MRI, and a host of other modern medical devices.
Human Achievement
Americans have always pioneered human endeavours to unleash new inventions and discoveries. Be it the first transatlantic flight, the first man on the moon, breaking the speed of sound and building the Panama Canal; all serve as a testimony to American courage and ingenuity.
The Automobile
One of the biggest contributions, which America has given to the world, is the invention of cars. Today’s blooming automobile industry owes its success to Henry Ford’s initiative that made it possible for an average person to experience the wonder and comfort of a car. It is because of this great American that hundreds of companies exist and offer an ever-growing number and variety of automobiles in the world.
Entertainment
Majority of the movies the world watches, the television shows they tune into, and the music they listen to, are produced in the United States. It is an undeniable fact that whole world loves to watch American TV and cinema.
Defending and Helping Freedom Bloom
America has always believed in the concept of Non-Offensive Defense (NOD). Despite being the sole superpower in the world it always believed in the principle – ‘live and let live’. America has never craved for establishing its authority over other countries of the world. On the contrary, it has helped several countries to get rid of the cruel dictatorship. It has appealed to all the nations across the globe to live in peace and harmony. That is the reason, why America was in the forefront to establish ‘United Nations Organization’ and the ‘World Bank’.
The most important thing a man needs is freedom and America has been the only country whose sacrifices have helped to fight out imperialistic invasion in World War I, World War II and Korean War. In addition, America defeated many other dictators and mass killers. It is hard to imagine what the world would have been like, had America not come to the rescue of Britain, France and Russia during World War II from the tyranny of Adolph Hitler. Notwithstanding the gas chambers used by Hitler in Germany and in other countries.
It was the historic Atlantic Charter declaration on 14th Aug. 1941 by Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, which promised to restore democracy in all the countries liberated by America, its allied forces and countries under their direct rule.
It is of historical importance to note that in the Second World War America did not fight for land or natural resources, but it fought for basic human rights and principles of democracy that America sought to spread all over the world. Consequently, America was highly successful in changing feudal war-mongering psyche of Germany and Japan and forced them to renounce nuclear weapons and their imperialist designs on their neighbours once and for all. At the same time America promised the whole world that it will help in restoring full political independence in the countries which it has liberated alongwith its allies.
When Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt met at Atlantic Ocean, Churchill agreed to all the demands of freedom for all the countries under the British rule, but he was very adamant in refusing to promise to give complete independence to India. This was the only point, which remained a stumbling block in reaching mutual agreement. But Franklin Roosevelt was also adamant and insisted that India should also be given full freedom after the war and ultimately Churchill had to give in to President Roosevelt’s demand and agreed to give complete independence to India after the war. Here is an excerpt from the famous historical Atlantic Charter :
THE ATLANTIC
CHARTER
The Historical Atlantic
Charter issued jointly
By Prime Minister of England
Mr. Winston
Churchill
And
President of America
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt
On
14th
August 1941
The Mid Atlantic Ocean
Their difference over colonialism was apparent in later arguments about the meaning of the third article of the Charter, dealing with the right of self-determination. This article stated that the United States and Great Britain :This Atlantic Charter was an important document as it included the declaration of the principles that served as the basic statement of allied war aims.
"RESPECT THE RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLES TO CHOOSE THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT UNDER WHICH THEY WILL LIVE; AND THAT THEY WISH TO SEE SOVEREIGN RIGHTS AND SELF-GOVERNMENT RESTORED TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FORCIBLY DEPRIVED OF THEM."
The Willkie speech of October 1942 forced Roosevelt’s hand. Talking to the press the next day, the President reaffirmed that the Atlantic Charter’s right of self-determination applied to all peoples under the colonial rule as well as to Axis conquest. It is because of America that today people are living in freedom in most parts of the world.
It is only America, which has been instrumental in creating and sustaining United Nations Organization for the last 58 years and thereby stopping wars in many different parts of the world. It was America which sent thousands of its military personnel to defend UN Security Council resolution on Korean Peninsula and other parts of world.
In 1962, it was again the interference and fear of American Forces, which helped India in getting immediate cease-fire from invading armies of China.
It was the massive American Food Aid in the name of PL 480, which saved millions of people in India in 1960’s. Even today, it is the only rescue for many in several parts of the world, especially in Africa.
It was American diplomacy and American might that stopped Stalin from conquering the rest of Europe and many other parts of the world and putting the iron curtain over them. Ultimately America became the winner in the long drawn cold war, was able to help lift the iron curtain and emerged as the only super power in the world.
Can we imagine the condition of the world, if the other party or the other super power (Stalin and Communist Soviet Union) had won the cold war and what they would have done to humanity ? If we can co-relate it with what they did to their own people during the communist rule ? More than thirty million of their own citizens, were killed by these new rulers and most inhuman concentration camps called Gulag were created in Russia, where millions of people simply perished or were killed.
Can we imagine a series of such Gulag camps spread all over the world ? What untold sufferings would it have brought to humanity for centuries to come ? And this whole genocide was done in the name of socialism and muffling any thought of independent thinking.
Similarly, Mao-Tse-Tung did the same thing with his own people in China and killed over 60 million innocent Chinese civilians during his long barbaric rule, in the name of so called cultural revolution.
It was America that was looked at as a savior of Humanity and beacon of hope and millions of people from all parts of the world came to America to escape prosecution on religions or on political grounds and come out of evils of poverty from their country. People chose to come by their own free will to settle in America in pursuit of their undeniable human rights of freedom and happiness, which are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. They forgot their own countries and they took pride in calling themselves Americans. They got themselves acclimatized to the new country and became so patriotic for America that millions of them were ready to sacrifice their lives to safeguard freedom of America all around the world. Whether it was World War I or World War II or the cold war, they were in such deep love for their new adopted country that they wanted to protect the newfound spirit of freedom with their last breath even by laying down their own lives.
It is America who has taught the world to live in harmony, even if people come from different countries belonging to different castes, creeds and religions. Today more than 98% of Americans are not its original natives. They came from over 100 different countries and created one of the most vibrant, powerful and prosperous societies in the world, and are living today with least amount of inter-racial tension and conflict. In fact, it is an ideal model for the world to follow.
In all other parts of the world, any foreigner who settles down in another country resides with a stigma of a foreigner for his whole life. While, in America just within a few years of his arrival the American society welcomes him with open arms and he soon gets assimilated in the new vibrant culture.
America has not only played a significant role in bringing the international community together for peacekeeping, but also in promoting democracy and economic justice to prevent conflicts, and in mediation to help resolve disputes peacefully, before they lead to war among the nations.
In many situations, America has offered its support as outside intervention for restoring peace. America has stood up as a neutral body to grant protection to people in other countries who appealed to the international community for help, as they were unable to defend themselves from intra-social aggression, brutality and genocide.
For all these reasons people and countries across the globe love America with a feeling of great pride and gratitude.
CHAPTER 2
America’s contribution to the world is unique. It gave to the world telephone, television, motorcar, cinema, airplane, electric bulb and what not. It has made the lives of the people on the planet comfortable and has shown new avenues of prosperity. Its democracy and political system, ideals of liberty utmost concern for human rights is a source of inspiration for the whole world. There are countless reasons for which one would love America. To enumerate few are as follows :
1. People know that it is only America’s might, generosity and goodwill that saved them from the barbaric dictatorship of Hitler, Mussolini and later on from Stalin’s iron grip.
2. The whole world knows that they will receive American food aid in the name of PL-480, whenever they face natural disasters like earthquakes, draughts and famines etc.
3. It is America’s creativity, initiative and inventiveness that have produced most of the modern amenities available today. Only $12 Trillion American economy can afford and sustain huge investments required on research and development of drugs, which otherwise cost billions of dollars. Thus, the world gets benefited without being burdened with any huge investments.
4. Most of the countries of the world also know that they are safe and can breathe free air, as they are sure that their borders are secured from foreign invasion. Even if some country dares to encroach upon their sovereign, they are sure that America will come to their rescue. Whole world knows that how America has helped Kuwait in its dire crisis.
5. When the Muslims in Yugoslavia were being tortured and killed by Slavovich, only America came forward to help them from this ethnic killing while the rest of world remained silent. It was America’s might and will power along with the assistance of NATO, which saved them. The barbaric dictatorship of Slavovich came to an end. Today, he is undergoing a trial in UNO court for genocide. America came to the rescue of these Muslims without expecting any material gains.
6. It is universally known that the Americans constitute a major part of the total tourist traffic all over the globe. Every country knows that American tourists spend billions of dollars and boost their economies by generating large number of employment opportunities.
7. Even if America itself fights a war imposed upon it people of aggressor country know very well that even after the war, America will not take an inch of its land. Not only that America also lends a helping hand to rebuild the counties attacked by it. Countries that suffered the consequences of World War II, like- Germany, Italy and Japan etc. and Afghanistan and Iraq in recent times are the best testimonials to it.
8. America has always pioneered and spent billions of dollars in setting up state of art educational institutions. Any one from any part of the world has an access to this educational system, and thereby the whole world can take full advantage from American universities. This is the reason why countless Chinese and Indians have chosen America for pursuing their higher studies and career as well.
9. The world has seen that America is the only country in the world, which has a rock solid political system. No one can ever think that any military coup ever raising its head in America and the experience and the history of last 225 years reinforces people’s faith in stable democratic America. This is one of the prime reasons why American Dollar is so strong in currency market and why people all across the globe prefer to keep their money in American Dollar.
11. The freedom of press is relatively very high in America as compared to any other part of the world. America has an absolutely independent news media, which cannot be influenced by the Government. For the same reason the New York Times and News Week Magazine are one of the most popular and trusted media for information of world affairs. Similarly it is the American TV channel CNN that is the most popular one through out the world, even in Muslim countries.
12. People all over the world know that a person of real talent in any field of human endeavour will be highly appreciated in America and will secure good social status, recognition and the best economic rewards irrespective of his caste, creed, color or nationality.
13. It is the American movies that have entertained the entire world for last four generations and even today they have no substitutes. If a choice is given, people still prefer to watch American movies in any part of the world. Be it Michael Jackson or Britney Spears it is the American music, which thrills the hearts of young generation all over the world.
14. From Computers and Internet, to Cloning and Biotech Research, and from Space, to neno technology, it is America that provides the latest in science and technology to the whole world.
15. Today America is the highest contributor in space research and developing astronomical knowledge.

*******************************************************************
CHAPTER 4
America’s recent indulgence in the war against Afghanistan and Iraq and earlier with Vietnam has been taken negatively by many people world over. Although these wars were fought to put on end to terrorism and restore peace in the world at large, yet America needs to promote this awareness to wipe off the hatred so developed in the mind and hearts of the people.
This hatred is the root cause of terrorism in the world. Today, America is facing terrorist intimidation from all over the world only due to abhorrence. Nearly 80% of the population in the countries like Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Latin America or anywhere in the world, have misconceptions about America and its policies. For the same reason people perhaps ignorantly blame and link America with incidents with which America is neither related nor at all responsible. These are perhaps the reflections of worldwide anger and hatred against America.
If we seriously analyze the developments during the last 80 years, we will find that Stalin and Mao’s communist
parties all over the world helped generate hatred towards America. They spent tens of billions of dollars in their efforts to cultivate hate and anger against America. This was also a part of so called cold war. The question arises that why communists harbour hatred towards America and its values ?
The answer is very simple. Lenin, Stalin and their followers wanted to bring the whole world under their barbaric steel grip and dominance under the cover of socialism. With the same aim they opened branches of the Communist Party in over 100 countries around the world, under direct control of Moscow.
Subsequent to dropping of atom bombs on Japan by America, Stalin had to change his tactics of world aggression. As he could not dare fight directly at a military level, for the reason that American Military power was certainly much superior, as also its nuclear weapons were surely capable to annihilate Russia, if they ever tried to fight against America directly on military basis. So he changed his tactics and adopted clandestine actions backed up with terrorist activities in fermenting hatred towards America.
This drive was not limited to other countries only, but even in America itself he spent billions of dollars to change the public opinion, thereby creating an anti American feeling within America – which manifested in the form of anti Vietnam war rallies. Communists targeted blacks and Spanish in particular to create rift against whites by applying a wicked trick of – divide and rule.
In order to bring Communist party’s leadership and its supremacy in the world, they could not tolerate
supremacy of God. Therefore, they directly proclaimed that, "we do not believe in God", and started demoralizing all those who believed in God.
America is a nation that believes in God, on each of its coin and currency notes it is imprinted – "In God We Trust". Communists believe that they can create total vacuum in human mind and heart, once the institutions of God are destroyed. With their mass propaganda, the communists fill this vacuum with their party leaders. People under communist supremacy started worshiping them without questioning anything they say, because by nature they were not used to question the authority and supremacy of God.
In view of the above and to fight terrorism, America has to undo the damage caused in over last 80 years. To achieve this goal, the best policy is to bring out the light of truth as truth itself is so powerful that all the misgivings in people’s mind about America will certainly be washed away.
The Truth
There is a misconception created by Communists all over the world that America is an imperialist power. The real truth is just opposite. In the last 100 years America has repulsed the imperialist design of Germany in First World War, Hitler’s aggression in the World War II, Stalin’s ambition and aggression to rule the world, China’s (Mao’s) conspiracy and aggression with the help of North Korea to rule South Korea as well as South East Asia, China’s aggression on India in 1962, Iraq’s aggression on Kuwait and its evil designs on certain parts of Saudi Arabia.
These are a few cases of international imperialism and aggression done by communists and totalitarian dictators, which could be repulsed only with the help of financial, military might and moral power of America.
In present scenario, we can exactly see the same horror of holocaust, which Hitler was doing in Germany to conquer rest of the world. In fact, the truth is that it was only the military and economic power of America, which defeated Germany and its imperialist designs to control the world. One must appreciate that how better off they are under democracy, rather than being in the clutches of Gestapo and Gulag Camps.
Even after the World War II, it was Stalin’s shrewd imperialist designs, through which he brought most of the Eastern Europe under his iron grip. America fought strategically but patiently with this imperialism, through ‘cold war’ and ultimately after 40 years of struggle, it was able to win over and liberate all the countries in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. This enabled the people in those countries to live in freedom and prosperity.
Today, it is horrifying to imagine that what would have been the map of the world without America’s vital role in anti-imperialist war. It makes one to shiver to think of Gestapo’s, barbaric ethnic cleansing, the creation of Gulag camps in Russia and the so called cultural revolution, where tens of millions of innocent Chinese were slaughtered by Mao’s evil designs. Everyone in the world is overwhelmed with the feeling of gratitude, love and affection towards America and its concept of peace and liberty in pursuit of happiness.
There is yet another misconception in the minds of people that America waged a war on Iraq to capture its oil fields.
It is a totally false and malicious propaganda that Americans wanted to invade Iraq to take over its oil wells. The truth is just the opposite. Americans wanted to free the oil fields from the devil clutches of Saddam Hussein, who was using the oil wealth of the country to fulfill his own wicked intentions to rule over whole of middle east and control major part of the world’s oil supply and to become an absolute dictator. During his tenure as a dictator of Iraq, he killed over one million Iraqis just to fulfill his own hunger for power. Once America liberated Iraq and Iraqi oil fields from the clutches of Saddam, America gave back the complete control over oil reserves to United Nations. It clearly demonstrates that America never had any evil design over Iraqi oil wealth. If we simply examine the past records, America spent billions of dollars to free Kuwait and its oil wells from the control of Saddam Hussein and after liberating it; America returned oil fields back to Kuwait. America did not keep even an inch of Kuwait’s land or its oil reserves.
Similarly, during the Second World War, America sacrificed lives of millions of its soldiers to liberate Europe from the clutches of Hitler, and as soon as France and even Germany were liberated, Germany, France and Italy got back every inch of their land under their own control. America did not demand for any price for its help and sacrifice from these countries. Instead America gave over 20 billion dollars in 1946 (which is equal to over 200 billion dollars today) in the shape of Marshal plan aid for Europe
and especially to Germany who had initiated war against America. Thus, America helped to rebuild the post war Europe into a happy and prosperous democratic society.
It must be kept in mind that America is helping Afghanistan after liberating it from the clutches of Talibans and Al Qaeda, and now it is spending billions of dollars to rebuild the shattered Afghan society and its economy. America is also generously giving billions of dollars to rebuild Iraq into a modern democratic society.
The most crucial question is that how do we change the outlook of the people for America by transforming their hatred into love and respect for America. For this purpose we have to bring out the truth about America and let it establish in the hearts and minds of the people all over the world. Only this can help people in realizing the true loving and caring nature of Americans and the ideals of Liberty, justice and pursuit of happiness – the three most important values, for which America stands committed to and advocates that these are the three fundamental rights that every one in the world should enjoy.
I propose the following action plan for transforming people’s hatred into love for America :
1. 20 international satellite TV channels in all major languages of the world should be launched to propagate the fundamental values and contribution of America.
2. To further promote American values, 100 new Radio Stations in all major languages of the world should be commenced.
3. 100 new magazines and newspapers should be started for achieving the same objective.
4. Regular seminars should be held at village, city, state and country level, where people can interact and come to realize the true benevolent nature of America.
5. In all American Consulates/ Embassies, a separate set up may be provided to help coordinate such activities and seminars.
6. Every year 5,000 press reporters and personnel from electronics media may be invited to America to witness how happy, affectionate and caring an average American is, and how liberty, justice and pursuit of happiness are actually practiced in America.
All these actions would have a multiple effect on people all across the world about their understanding of America. People will realize the true nature of America and gradually seeds of love, affection gratitude and respect will germinate in their hearts and mind. Once people realize the truth about American intentions and values, they will oppose the terrorist activities against America. They will even try to stop such activities themselves and will help the Americans authorities in combating terrorism.
For this purpose American Government should set up a network of toll free telephone numbers in every country where any one can tip off American officials regarding any probable terrorist activities. To encourage this 10,000 green cards should be issued every year to those
people who help America to fight with these terrorists alongwith an annual fund of 100 million dollars should also be setup to give cash rewards ranging from 1000 to a million dollars.
People all over the world have been fed with extreme negative views against America for last 80 years and the hatred so developed, has reached to an extent that it requires a committed effort to undo it.
Budget for re-establishing the truth about America
1. Installation & running of 20 international TV channels in all major languages of the world $ 1000 million 2. Setting up of 100 new Radio Stations in all major languages $ 300 million 3. Publication of 100 new magazines and newspapers $ 100 million 4. Organizing national seminars at Village/ City/State and Country level at regular intervals $ 1000 million 5. Inviting 5,000 Press Reporters and TV representatives to America $ 500 million
6. Other Miscellaneous Expenses $ 500 million
Total
$ 3.4 Billion
This investment of $ 3.4 billion will go a long way in winning the hearts and minds of terrorists and resolving the problem of terrorism.
Total Investment : $ 3.4 Billion
CHAPTER 5
Though America has already liberated people of Iraq from the tyrannical oppressions and killing fields of Saddam Hussain, yet this war in Iraq is not over and still brave American soldiers continue to get killed every day.
To eradicate this problem once and for all, and let Iraqi citizens enjoy the fruits of freedom, it is imperative that the following actions are taken on top priority :
1. Winning the hearts of Iraqi people
(i) It is most important to win the hearts and minds of Iraqi people. Then only they will help in identifying and capturing all the troublemakers and remnants of Baath Party, which in all practical senses is the Communist Party of Iraq. That is the reason why the Russians and the leftist German politicians were so against the war and they wanted their comrade Saddam to stay in power, enabling them to continue to loot Iraq easily the way they have been doing it for the last 25 years.
(ii) It is most important to get rid of TV channels that are promoting terrorism in Iraq like Al-Zazira, CNN, and BBC. The representatives of these 3 channels should be prohibited from entering Iraq for national security reasons.
(iii) Five new TV channels on entertainment, educational, news etc. must be introduced in Iraq with immediate effect. In the present era, this is the only cost effective way to reprogram and to educate the population at large about the real benevolent intentions of American Government. America took similar kind of action during the crises in Germany and Japan after World War II. Then, people of these countries believed Americans for their honest intentions. Now the leftist media is trying its best to poison the minds of people and unfortunately BBC has also fallen prey to their trap.
(iv) The new Iraqi TV and Radio should expose the atrocities perpetrated by Saddam on people of Iraq, in the same way as Hitler was exposed after World War II for his Gas Chambers. The graphic details of the Genocide committed by Saddam on innocent Iraqis must be shown. Let the hatred simmer in such a way that Iraqi people themselves destroy remaining elements of Saddam’s rule.
(v) Declare Saddam and his party leaders as the evil crafters who committed genocide on their own brethren in Iraq.
2. Economic Aid Program
(i) Once political and social stability is established, a special $ 500 million ‘Aid Package’ may be announced to promote tourism in Iraq. It will give a big boost to Iraqi economy.
(ii) Oil production and its sales may be given the top priority. Emphasis may be put on increasing the revenue, which in turn will help to improve infrastructure of Iraq.
(iii) Invite foreign investors to set up hotels and other tourist facilities in Iraq. This will create additional employment potential.
(iv) More foreign carriers should be induced to fly to Baghdad. Landing and other charges may be abolished at least for five years. Airline fuel must also be sold at lowest price in the region.
(v) To form ‘Aid Iraq Club’ with countries like- Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Kuwait, South Arabia and others, and set a target of an Aid Package worth $ 20 billion over a span of three Years.
(vi) To boost the Iraqi agriculture America should introduce 100 new high tech cash crops to the farmers and provide them full technical and material assistance in implementing new techniques.
(vii) All foreign loans granted to Iraq must be waved off. The present Government should be exempted from its repayment, as all such amounts were given to Saddam regime. It is logical that the new Iraqi Government seeks such favor from, not only America, but also from all other countries.
(viii) A special ‘Exile Iraqi Assistance Fund’ should be instituted and loans should be given to the exiled people, which can help in their rehabilitation in Iraq. These Iraqis will help, support and propagate democratic values in Iraq.
3. Political and tactical
(i) Seal the border with Syria and Iran. This is a very crucial strategy since these two countries are sending a large number of terrorists to undermine peace and stability in Iraq. Shoot at sight orders should be issued for any one illegally crossing these borders, as most of them are terrorists or people who are propagating hatred for the present Government in Iraq and America.
(ii) All religious leaders who have recently arrived from Iran should be kept under strict vigilance, as they are the real sources of problem, besides Bath Party in Iraq. I am sure that American Secret Agencies are vigilant to any such threat. Yet I stress this point once again for close and aggressive monitoring in all spheres as a safety measure. Any one who preaches violence should immediately be arrested and prosecuted by military courts.
(ii) Induce countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh to take up peacekeeping measures in broader perspective.
(iii) A better understanding with France and Germany would help in establishing permanent peaceful relations with them. Let past be past.
(iv) Offer special incentives to Iraqis so that they may help in trapping any potential terrorist. A fund of $100 million should be set up, to reward people who help in capturing the terrorists. This investment will pay greater dividends in saving Iraqis as well as American lives. People who extend such help should be offered security by maintaining anonymity. Green cards may also be provided to deserving individuals.
(v) Set up a National Toll free network of 800 telephone numbers all over Iraq – so that people have an easy access to American Government Authorities as well as Iraqi Government in informing them about any possible terrorist activities.
(vi) Thousands of innocent Muslims and non-Muslims Iraqis have been killed in recent months and the country is inching towards anarchy. Hence, it is of utmost urgency that a "National Emergency" should be immediately declared in Iraq and drastic steps should be taken to check this chaos.
4. Treaty
America should immediately sign a 20-year defense, peace and friendship treaty, similar to that with Japan, wherein the defense of Iraq will be the responsibility of America. Let Iraqis get full assurance from U.S. President that in any eventuality, they will be safeguarded and they will be protected with full force of US Government against Saddam Hussain and his cronies or any other foreign invasion.This assurance is very crucial for winning the hearts of Iraqis, since they are so much terrified with past horrors and Genocide of Saddam that even a small hint of his presence or re-emergence terrorizes Iraqis in fear and they cannot act against Saddam and his associates. Only categorical guarantee and action can remove the fear complex from the Iraqi minds.
5. It is very important to be aware of Qatar. It will be a blunder to reorganize US Forces from a 30 years firmally like Saudi Arabia, to a tiny country having its known links with Al-Qaeda (which allows and finances Al–Zazira TV a known Al- Qaeda favuorite) and a well known anti American TV channel to operate from its land.
Iraq situation needs to be handled very carefully and delicately, as it will affect not only Middle East, but also peace of the world at large.

CHAPTER 6
In post 9/11 America, it is highly unsafe to depend on foreign oil especially from Middle East. It is now inevitable for America to be independent and not to look at foreign countries for its oil needs. I suggest following measures to make America fully independent in fulfilling its oil requirements:
1. A presidential commission should be set up immediately under the chairmanship of Mr. Ross Perrot to suggest ways to eliminate energy dependence on foreign oil imports and find alternate energy technologies.
2. Currently, America is at war with terrorists. Therefore, under such circumstances exploration and drilling for oil reserves should immediately be started in ALASKA’s arctic region.
3. A three billion-dollar fund should be earmarked to 500 different groups of entrepreneurs, inventors etc. to find economically viable alternate sources of energy like specially sea current, cold fusion, wind energy, hydrogen energy and others.
4. This commission should also suggest ways to streamline and overhaul laws that have become obsolete. It is wasteful to handle requirement like 18 different types of gasoline in different states of America.
5. This commission should also be empowered with an authority to allocate the $3 billion fund to right kind of entrepreneurs.
6. New stringent federal standard for fuel consumption in car and all other appliances should be set up with immediate effect.
7. Unnecessary and careless use of energy should be avoided. For this purpose, commission should give concrete suggestions for implementation.

Total Saving : $ 20 Billion in Imports
CHAPTER 7
America is the strongest nation on the earth and the only super power. It has always used its enormous military and economic power to help the cause of freedom around the world. It is therefore imperative for the well being of humanity that America should keep up and enhance this position.
It was only American armed forces, which turned the tide in World War II and saved the world from the menace of Hitler, Mussolini and Japanese military dictators. It is in the interest of world peace and prosperity that America continues to develop its strength and this goal can be attained by the American armed forces by considering following issues.
1. All military procurements should be made more cost effective and should be absolutely transparent.
2. Space Based Defense System (SDI) can create problems to Americans and the world at large, is a completely unfounded concept. America should immediately deploy Space Based Defense System at war footing. Even the term- "star war", most commonly used to denote the space based defense system is absolutely a misnomer. In every war, weapons are used to kill the opponents, but in the space based defense system no one is harmed. It is the most non-violent method of fighting a mass killer and disabling it in the mid-way. Therefore, it is of paramount importance in view of the growing threats and intentions of North Korean, Iranian and Muslim countries in getting and developing weapons of mass destruction.
3. American President should categorically declare that America would not allow North Korea or Iran to make atomic weapons. It will do all in its vast powers to stop any such move.
4. Simulation techniques and interactive virtual video war games may be extensively used for imparting training to American soldiers about modern weapons and techniques of war. New and more advanced computer based interactive techniques should be developed, so that a fresh soldier can learn all the basic and advanced techniques of warfare in a virtual atmosphere. This will be a very cost-effective method for upgrading the combating skills of American soldiers. A common soldier will be able to learn from the BEST.
5. In today’s tumultuous political climate, special emphasis should be given on teaching languages to military personnel, like Arabic, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Indian, Japanese, German, French, Chinese etc. Special methods for learning and teaching new languages in a faster manner may also be developed. A week long training in a particular language would be good enough for getting the armed forces acclimatized with it. Each soldier should learn at least one foreign language through crash courses.
6. Similarly, training courses should be designed on economic, social and religious aspects of various countries so that the American soldiers remain well apprised of the local manners, customs and religions of the place where they have to fight. It is very important to win a war at a psychological level.
7. It is indeed an agony that despite their noble thoughts and deeds the American soldiers are the most misunderstood ones in the world. They put their lives at stake in safeguarding liberty of the people in the countries other than their own. Unfortunately, the media and the public of the country attacked feel that invaders have the intention to grab some piece of their land or natural resources. On the contrary America has never taken an inch of land, even after conquering Germany, Japan, South Korea, Afghanistan or Iraq. Therefore, an innovative strategy may be devised to remove this pseudo feeling.
8. It is important that America strikes a workable military alliance with India on a long-term basis, as India and America share common goals for high and noble democratic values.
America must help India fight terrorism across the borders of its neighbor Pakistan, as it not only indulges itself in deliberate and planned terrorist activities in India, but also is a potential shelter and hideout for dreaded terrorist Bin Laden and his organization - Al-Qaeda. It was this terrorist group that was responsible for the sad incidence of blowing towers in USA on September 11. It is important to curb the terrorist activities of such organization that are great threats to the security and peace of America and other countries of the world for maintaining harmony in the world.
American military should revamp and revitalize its human intelligence system. During President Carter’s reign this system was totally battered in the name of satellite based intelligence. These computerized systems rely on limited artificial intelligence, which in no way can match the competence of human mind. Therefore, greater emphasis and investment should be made for developing human intelligence system.

CHAPTER 8
ELIMINATING EXCESSIVE BUREAUCRACY THROUGH
E-GOVERNANCEAmerica has the biggest federal budget. Billions of dollar are merely wasted on unnecessary paper work in America. It is really surprising that even a department like FDA takes years in granting approvals to new drugs only due to excessive paper formalities. Bureaucracy has its own inertia.
1. A new national taskforce should be set up by involving industry, government, NGOs and intellectuals to devise and implement the techniques through which the use of paper and red-tapism in government can be reduced by 98%. A similar endeavour was undertaken 20 years ago which was very successful. Now with the advent of new technologies it is imperative that a second commission is set up for streamlining the administrative set up and reducing excessive paper work.
2. A time limit for processing each type of application should be predefined. Avoidable delays in bureaucracy should be subjected to economic penalization, because delays and inactivity in government proceedings affect the whole society and cause unnecessary financial distress and mental tension. To further check the red-tapism and corruption in bureaucracy, it is completely justified to impose financial penalties and taking other disciplinary actions against the inefficient employees.
3. The documents that need to be filled in specific formats for various government jobs should be provided with clear instructions and sample of duly filled forms may be made available on the Internet. Internet should be further explored for expediting the processing of essential formalities involved in routine Governmental functioning. All forms should be available online in interactive formats, so that they may be instantly filled in on the Internet in a secured manner.
4. Today all the Government departments have their own websites; links to all these websites should be provided on one common site of American Government. It should be a vast interactive portal consisting of millions of pages containing all information related to various departments of the Federal and State Government.
5. It should be made mandatory that all the transactions related to purchase and sales in the government departments should be routed to on one common platform, so that people need not visit different websites and can easily access the information pertaining to federal, state or local level. This would enable the general masses to witness and participate in these transactions through the Internet in a secured manner.
6. In modern times, it is imperative that all the payments to Federal, state and local bodies may be allowed to make through credit cards. Government can negotiate a deal with the credit card companies to ensure that they do not charge more than 1 percent commission on all transactions.
7. Computer training should be made mandatory for all government employees at all levels. Special crash courses should be provided to all bureaucrats and others to make cent percent bureaucracy perfectly computer literate.
8. It is really surprising that even today members of Congress and Senate in America cast their votes using the obsolete methods, and hundreds of most precious hours are lost in the vote casting procedure. Electronic voting is highly time saving technique and can complete the whole process within one minute. A completely new electronic procedure should be deployed in all the elections to be used by the Congress, Senate and state legislative bodies. The vote casting in America at all the levels should be carried only through electronic vote casting mechanism.
Moreover, if an underdeveloped and vast country like India can use electronic voting machines successfully for their general elections, why America cannot take up this challenge at the national level and complete the task within one year.
9. If all the records related to land in the whole of America are computerized and displayed on the Internet, it would become much faster and easier for an average American to buy, sell or rent their properties.
10. Similarly, all the judicial records of the courts should be fully computerized. It is very interesting to note that in a city like Jaipur, India hardcore criminals in the jail can have their court appearances through broadband video conferencing, thus, saving a lot of risk, expense and time. If it is possible in Jaipur, then why not in a great country like America. Especially, to help take precautionary safety measures after the sad and gruesome incidence of 9/11.

CHAPTER 9
HOW TO GIVE TRAINING IN LATEST SKILLS AND JOBS TO TEN MILLION AMERICANS EVERY YEAR
The rate of unemployment is persisting at a very high level of 5.6%. However, the GDP growth is at a considerably low level as compared to China and other Asian countries. To remedy this problem I suggest the following action plan:
Vocational Training through Interactive DVDs
To impart the latest technical, financial and practical training apt to the 21st century, we must provide every American the best possible knowledge and training in some one thousand different fields which are essential for development of America.
Therefore, interactive DVD programs should be developed for each of these one thousand subjects that may help provide specialized skilled jobs to the American youth. These programs should be able to gather and comprehensively present the most advantageous knowledge available throughout the world on each subject. This in turn would help an average American to easily understand and assimilate the knowledge and utilize it for his livelihood.
All the school buildings in America may be put to use for this purpose after school hours, and the classes may be conducted free of charge. In each class, knowledge pertaining to a particular skill may be imparted to the participants. Volunteers and teachers may be trained and employed to conduct such classes. This would help the students to assimilate the knowledge through these interactive DVDs and Internet. The basic thrust will be on imparting the skills that are in great demand through a system, where learning is made easy and cost effective. For example, teaching a course in the class on painting the interiors of any establishment like - an office, household or a commercial complex. A competent and trained faculty will not only teach, how one can paint a room, but would also brief the participants on some basic information like - the equipments and paints used, their quality and places where from the required material may be procured etc. These training programs based on DVDs may be developed with the assistance of competent professionals having the expertise on the subject and who are the best in their respective fields.
Scholarships should also be provided to research scholars in each of these fields by the Government to encourage the researchers involved in the job. These interactive DVDs along with instruction manuals may be sold in the open market at a very nominal cost say, 2 to 5 dollar per piece. Americans all across the country will surely be encouraged to buy these well-made interactive DVDs.
In the current era of infotainment, education needs to be backed up by an element of entertainment. Keeping
this in view, consultation and guidance may be sought from Hollywood’s renowned film directors like Steven Spielberg for getting their expertise in inducing element of human emotions decked with entertainment in these educational DVDs. This would help develop the educational content in an easier and user-friendly manner. It will make people really desirous to learn through these DVDs. The DVDs may be promoted in such a way that they gain the popularity similar to super hit movies like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Titanic’.
This DVD based vital educational program should be within the reach of every segment of the society, to extend its benefits to the hundreds of millions of Americans sitting right at the their homes.
I hereby suggest an action plan for creating jobs and reducing unemployment :
1. Setting up of 100,000 classes of DVDs program all over the country from countryside to the urban counterparts. This vocational video-training program will run after study hours in school and college buildings or any other available public or private building.
2. Making of 1000 best possible video films on all jobs, trades, small industries, agriculture etc.
