Dear President Bush,

Your second administration faces grave challenges.  In addition to resolving the war in Iraq and social security reform, you’ll need to rebuild our alliances overseas.  I have a suggestion that I think could help along these lines. 

Every time you meet with another world leader, present them with a pack of Skittles.  Everyone loved Skittles; Stalin was eating Skittles on his deathbed.  They’re multi-colored, just like human beings.  Each Skittle has its own unique taste (I prefer grape).

Skittles’ motto is “Taste the Rainbow.”  I believe this is the kind of attitude we need to take worldwide.  The people of the world need to understand that we are a people who respect diversity, which enjoys tasting rainbows.

I wanted to send you a pack of Skittles, but I was afraid they would melt.  Instead, please accept this money order for one dollar, to pout towards Skittles.  You may need to forma an agency to process the money and keep track of Skittle distribution, to make sure everything is legal.  I suggest the Department for International Skittle Alliances (DISA).

As for the dollar I’m sending you, spend it as you wish.  However, I wouldn’t buy Skittles at a gas station; they’re too expensive.  Instead of paying eighty cents for a pack, go to a dollar store and get them three for a dollar. 

Skittles are made my Mars, Inc.  Find out more information by visiting www.skittles.com.

Thanks,

Ryan Arey
