Dear Jamie:
I write you with a strange, but fundamental request. I want
to ask you to leave your job in NATO. After the war of Kosovo, I realized that
all the information that you gave about it was full of blatant euphemisms. With
these ones, I realized that the communication of the war scaped from your
hands. These euphemisms were so barefaced that almost most of the information
you communicated turned in a big lie. You can make great things with language,
dear Jamie. You have a great power in your
hands while you communicate the information. From y opinion, this power is
going out of your control.
With these words, I mean that the people have a completely
wrong perception of war, because of this manipulation of the information that
you made. Is not good that people think that war is like you portrayed it.
People must know what is happening in wars. People must know that soldiers,
their own familiars, are dying in cold blood, are killing between each other,
between humans, no respecting the life of the one that they are having in
front. People must know that soldiers go to war with the only dream of coming
back and see their families, with the dream of having a life, and with the fear
that they can loose it in one second.
This is why I am writing you this letter. You have to leave
your job, you have to stop lying the people that hear you, and stop creating a
wrong perception of war.
Without further ado, your sincerely
Aldous Huxley
