From our nation to yours

Dear Mr Faure (current president of Togo)

Have you learned nothing from the American government? While it is noble of you to want to follow so closely in your fathers footsteps by taking up the role of leadership after him, serving without an election is sure to bring you world attention. Take instead a page from our own recent history. Take King George the I and King George the II. They at least kept the pretense of a democratic process alive and them beleaguered the process with laws no one had been familiar with in decades and polling and voting scandals and cover up. You see it's a complex system to make people THINK that you are in favor of democracy while in fact you are not.

Basically you need to do what every good dictator does which is fly under the radar of the US. If you don't then by it's own arrogance the US is going to have to be bound to do something about your rise to power—even if it is only lip service – this could cost you time and money down the road.

So take a lesson on politics from our own little dictator and do things right! Other wise that little demonstration your people staged on the White House lawn the other day will gain popularity, and if there is one thing that the world cannot fight it is a popular American cause.

Sincerely Yours,
