Dear Mr. President:
We have seen in the past that the Marshall Plan works. After World War Two, we spent nearly thirteen billion helping Europe rebuild what we had helped to damage, and, in return, we have friendly relations. We have also seen how not aiding countries we have harmed has backfired, and we have gone to war over it. At the ends of current wars as well as future ones, I believe that “nation building” should be utilized as much as possible. Our last President grew to accept the Marshall plan (although he never truly enacted it), despite dismissing “Nation Building” during his run for President, and I believe you should, too. It will help to boost foreign relations, and potentially prevent future wars or attacks. How our current war (Afghanistan) ends, will provide context for how the next one begins. If we help to rebuild their nation after the war is over, through providing people, resources, and money, we will fare much better in the future. I advise you to use the Marshall Plan when this war is over, to do what is best for this country. Thank you.
