Alhamdullilah<\/a>, Almighty Allah would definitely help me as HE had done before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Allah had created all human equal and I don\u2019t think anyone or anything is too great that I need to avoid addressing or dreaming. That great person may be a King or the President or the Prime Minister or a very rich and influential cooperate leader, I will never hesitate to communicate. But I would always pay my greatest respect but I dare to ask the favour or any legitimate request. (But never the monetary request.) But I am always scared about one thing, i.e. the anger of Allah for not asking from the Almighty but depending on the other human being. The story of our Nabi Yusuf\u2019s failure to doa\u2019 directly from Allah and asked the help of the fellow prisoner who was going to release always frightened me because Allah made him forget about the request for seven years. So I used to pray to Allah first and I always declare that if Allah agrees only the great leader who is a mere human being would be able to help me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (But I used to avoid the mad, drunkard or bad gangster like people because they could blindly harm me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you dare not even ask, write or try, you will get nothing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.

Roosevelt never replied it is his fault. If he even made an arrangement that all the letters addressed to him were to be replied even by a junior clerk, who knows\u2026 Castro would have an attachment, admiration and love for US presidents and USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a feeling that the above letter was published to run him down.

Dear Mr. Andropov,
My name is Samantha Smith. I am ten years old. Congratulations on your new job. I have been worrying about Russia and the United States getting into a nuclear war. Are you going to vote to \u2026have a war or not? If you aren\u2019t please tell me how you are going to help to not have a war. This question you do not have to answer, but I would like to know why you want to conquer the world or at least our country. God made the world for us to live together in peace and not to fight.
Sincerely,
Samantha Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I received your letter, which is like many others that have reached me recently from your country and from other countries around the world.
It seems to me \u2013 I can tell by your letter \u2013 that you are a courageous and honest girl, resembling Becky, the friend of Tom Sawyer in the famous book of your compatriot Mark Twain. This book is well known and loved in our country by all boys and girls.
You write that you are anxious about whether there will be a nuclear war between our two countries. And you ask are we doing anything so that war will not break out.
Your question is the most important of those that every thinking man can pose. I will reply to you seriously and honestly.
Yes, Samantha, we in the Soviet Union are trying to do everything so that there will not be war on Earth. This is what every Soviet man wants. This is what the great founder of our state, Vladimir Lenin, taught us.
Soviet people well know what a terrible thing war is. Forty-two years ago, Nazi Germany, which strove for supremacy over the whole world, attacked our country, burned and destroyed many thousands of our towns and villages, killed millions of Soviet men, women and children.
In that war, which ended with our victory, we were in alliance with the United States: together we fought for the liberation of many people from the Nazi invaders. I hope that you know about this from your history lessons in school. And today we want very much to live in peace, to trade and cooperate with all our neighbors on this earth\u2014with those far away and those near by. And certainly with such a great country as the United States of America<\/a>.
In America and in our country there are nuclear weapons\u2014terrible weapons that can kill millions of people in an instant. But we do not want them to be ever used. That\u2019s precisely why the Soviet Union solemnly declared throughout the entire world that never\u2014never\u2014will it use nuclear weapons first against any country. In general we propose to discontinue further production of them and to proceed to the abolition of all the stockpiles on Earth.
It seems to me that this is a sufficient answer to your second question: \u2018Why do you want to wage war against the whole world or at least the United States?\u2019 We want nothing of the kind. No one in our country\u2013 neither workers, peasants, writers nor doctors, neither grown-ups nor children, nor members of the government\u2013want either a big or \u2018little\u2019 war.
We want peace\u2014there is something that we are occupied with: growing wheat, building and inventing, writing books and flying into space. We want peace for ourselves and for all peoples of the planet. For our children and for you, Samantha.
I invite you, if your parents will let you, to come to our country, the best time being this summer. You will find out about our country, meet with your contemporaries, visit an international children\u2019s camp \u2013 \u2018Artek\u2019 \u2013 on the sea. And see for yourself: in the Soviet Union, everyone is for peace and friendship among peoples.
Thank you for your letter. I wish you all the best in your young life.
Y. Andropov<\/p>\n\n\n\n
