If we measure the correctness of domestic and foreign policy using the criteria: (1) That which encourages the development of human beings along the lines of that which The Creator purposed for the human beings; (2) that which strengthens marriage; (3) that which strengthens and protects the family; then our policies, both domestic and foreign, can be considered good policies. For, any policy that is good for self can be good for others, if we love for our brother or neighbor what we love for ourselves.

Jesus laid down the two basic Commandments, which must form the basis of our thinking as we develop policies, rules, regulations and laws that affect the human condition. Jesus said the First and Greatest Commandment is, Thou shaft love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The Second Commandment is like unto it, Thou shaft love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two Commandments (of Love) hang all The Law and the Prophets.

We have to admit that the Prophets, wherever they have appeared on the earth, have given us noble examples of human conduct. Although, the Bible lists a number of faults of many of the Prophets, the Holy Qur’an holds them sinless. However, the fact that The Law and the Prophets hang from, or are connected, to these Two Great Commandments of Love, should tell us that if this is truly a government under Allah (God), indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, then, all of the policies, domestic and foreign, must reflect these Commandments.

This is not the case. The nations of the earth have been crushed and exploited because of the policies of the powerful industrial nations of the world.

By Allah’s (God’s) permission, America has become the only remaining superpower and sits at the top of a unipolar world. America stands in the position of Khalifah and/or vicegerent, or that which stands in the place of Allah (God). Therefore, America, moreso than any other nation, should and must act in the place of Allah (God) who has raised her in eminence and power as no other nation in the last 6,000 years.

What should America’s policies be toward all the nations of the earth?

Since America has been founded, developed, and peopled by all of the races, nations, and ethnic groups of the world, and since all of the peoples of the world who are citizens of the United States of America have contributed to her greatness and helped her to rise to the great position that she now holds, her policies, should then reflect her gratitude to all the nations of the earth for what they have given to make America.

When we look at those who helped to make America the greatest nuclear power on the earth–the scientists, the scholars, and the people who caused this to happen are practically from all the nations and races of the earth.

When we took at America’s mastery of the race in space–the scientists, scholars, and the people who made this happen are from every race and practically every nation on this earth.

When we look at the advancement in science, technology, and medicine you will find that those who helped to make this happen are from every race and practically every nation on this earth.

I repeat, America’s foreign policy should reflect her gratitude to the nations of the earth who have contributed their sons and daughters to raise America to the great position that she now holds.

Since America’s foreign policies are driven by corporate greed; since America’s relationship to the poor countries of the world allows America and the industrialized nations to take produce and raw materials from these nations, at a small price, which disallows these nations to do for their people what America and Europe have been able to do for their people, then these policies must be re-evaluated and rethought.

If leaders arise in these nations who recognize the injustice of the policies of America and Europe and seek to change the relationship with America and Europe to one that is more just and equitable, it then becomes a policy of the governments of the United States and Europe to get rid of these leaders who stand in the way of the bottom line of corporate greed. These industrialized governments even foment civil strife in these countries setting up leaders who are more favorable to America’s and Europe’s bottom line; these policies that disturb and destroy the abilities of countries to develop their people; these policies that promote strife which allows the merchants of death to sell weapons of war to profit from the destruction of men, women and children are not policies that reflect the love of neighbor. These unjust policies that bring war to other nations will ultimately bring a great war to the door of the United States of America.

This will cause the President of the United States of America to break into our families and summon our sons and daughters to send them off to areas of conflict that did not necessarily have to be so if America’s policies were based on the Two Great Commandments that Jesus gave to the Christian world and also to all of humanity.

America owes a debt to Europe so she will always strive to have a good relationship with Europe, but America and Europe also owe a debt to Africa. Therefore, their policies must reflect the contribution that Africans have made to America’s and Europe’s development. Their policies toward the Caribbean, Central and South America must reflect the gratitude for that which they have added to America’s greatness. America’s policies toward the Middle East, Asia, the Isles of the Pacific, New Zealand and Australia should reflect the gratitude for their contributions to America’s greatness.

America dislikes President Fidel Castro of Cuba, President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, President Muammar Ghadhafi of Libya, President Omar Bashir of the Sudan, President Katama of Iran, President Kim Jong Il of North Korea–all of whom have been labeled as dictators over "rogue nations" because they refuse to bow to the policies of Europe and America that will weaken their ability to serve the interests of their people, while at the same time, strengthening the bottom line of greedy multi-national corporations.

America’s dislike of China is based on the same principle. The destruction of the great leaders of Africa has been because the policies of America and Europe are designed to extract the vast wealth of Africa for the good of Europe and America.

Any African leader who stands in the way of these policies must be eliminated.

Are these policies just and fair, and are they based on these Two Great Commandments of Love pronounced by Jesus?

Do these policies reflect love of thy neighbor? Of course, the answer is no. These policies reflect the inordinate self-interest and gross selfishness of America and Europe that has nothing to do with the principle of love.

Will these policies bring the best result to America and Europe in this era? Of course, the answer is no.

Since the war in Iraq ended in 1991, more Iraqis have died under sanctions than during the war. Depleted uranium was used in many of the bombs that fell on Iraq, which has affected the earth and the water and now many are dying from leukemia and other forms of cancer. If the Iraqi people had proper medication they might be able to be saved.

I ask you, is this good policy?

A blockade has been on Cuba for over 30 years because America does not like a communist nation 90 miles from her shore. What happened to the right of self-determination?

Jesus said, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, who is in Heaven.

If it is believed that the democracy that America offers is a great light, then, let this light shine. Surely, the Cuban people would see it, but this is not America’s policy. It is to starve the Cubans; to deny them access to medicine; to cause the suffering of the Cuban people so that they might rise up to overthrow the leadership that America does not like. Is this the way you treat your neighbor?

If in American jurisprudence a man is innocent until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and this is a part of the constitutional guarantee of the citizens of America, should you not want it for others? Is it justified that because a charge is made by the United States government that two Libyan nationals are responsible for the bombing of Pan Am Flight #103 that American and United Nations sanctions should be placed against an entire country and people causing great harm to the people simply because America hates President Muammar Ghadhafi and his blocking of wealth to the bottom line of corporate greed? Do his nationals deserve due process?

As I see it, the American people must be informed so that they may help to guide their representatives and help their officials and government to be more just, and more humane in its policies. As long as the American people are denied access to information and knowledge, based on truth, that will help them to make good and just decisions, then the American people cannot form a counsel or cannot be helpful to guide their government.

Since this is supposed to be a government of, by, and for the people, then the people must be entrusted with knowledge that they might help to choose or elect better representation to guide them so that these elected officials truly represent the will of the people. Only a people knowledgeable, united, and organized can break the grip of the multi-national corporations that now hold sway over the United States government and its policies.

We must think of the Native American and what they have contributed and what they suffer. The government must ask the question, Are the policies of the government toward the Native Americans, the Blacks, the Hispanics, the Asians, and even poor Whites, aiding in the development of these Native Americans and others?

Is it strengthening their families’ ability to do for self? Is it helping them to become productive citizens? If not, then all policies, foreign and domestic, must be re-evaluated. It will take courage to do this. It will take the rising into consciousness of the masses of the American people that we, instead of corporate greed, will be the driving force behind America’s domestic and foreign policies.
