If I Were President (Papa) Jacques Chirac...(2)

Now that the grand elder statesman has spoken, we must congratulate him and move on. Papa says he'll not stand for re-election in April, and that he'll continue to fight for social justice, truth, human rights and successful Europe. He will always promote the interests of France. Bravo!

As I have said before, one project of maximum impact for France, EU, AU, UN and the world is ORGANIC Foods, Drinks & Drugs (OFDD). And it is based essentially on nature-based and environmentally-friendly AGRICULTURE. As Papa knows, the world is right now living on junk! Simpliciter. Period. Yes.

No one needs a lecture on the benefits of healthy-living the nature-way. Or the native sense in planting, hunting and fishing the right & sustainable way. We all know the truth: let is set us free! Pleeeeze.

Which is why the Organic Crusade needs the stature & status of an eminent world leader and elder to lead from the front. Which was why I sad before that Papa Jacques Chirac is one of the most qualified persons today for the task. And that he should kindly retire to take charge.

Which is now why I insist that if I were this wise president, I will set up a simple foundation to pursue this waiting dream! I won't tarry a day.

In the interest of full disclosure, who doesn't know that Organic Farming & Fishing will best succeed in the unpolluted and vast terrains of AFRICA & SOUTH AMERICA? And that I am an African? Hey!

If President Chirac drags his feet on this, I am sure Chancellor Angela Merkel will use the power of her combined leadership status (EU & G8) plus her power of newness to "appoint" him right away!

When this works, we will all (especially EU and AU, including ACP-EU) be truly profited by the full rewards.

In 5 short years!

If I Were President (Papa) Jacques Chirac

Papa is our endearing title for ELDERS here in my part of the world. For President Jacques Chirac of France, it is time to serve our recommendations...on his future role(s) as an elder statesman. If I were Papa Chirac, I would ensure that I help France to elect the best leader to succeed me. One who will best heal the nation and lead the country into the 21st century, as a key EU player and a responsible and proud world power. Nothing will better serve the land that gave him ...so much! That done, he can retire in deserved honour.

To achieve this feat calls for a level-playing field for all contestants in the next elections. He must play the role of "Father of the Nation" in this regard. He should not contest as is being speculated. This is the right time to bow out in humility and good grace. 2007 is it.

In retirement, Monsieur Chirac should take up the leadership mantle of "Chief Crusader for Organic Foods & Drinks". He is eminently qualified and suited to succeed.

My recommendations are based on his global stature plus the French legendary taste for good food and excellent wine. He has lived across many decades, has a great spouse and can guide us all on this issue. To do so now will truly help our world. We need to retreat from junk foods and unhealthy drinks. He should teach us some elegance-in-wellness. The world must return to nature, and natural ways. We need to do so TODAY!

Let President Chirac look forward to an exciting future in this area, and join the same global stage where upon President Bill Clinton serves now ...in glory, and to warm acclaim.

If I were Papa Jacques Chirac, I will use the fertile lands of Africa to jump-start the crusade. This will be a well-deserved payback to the ever-loyal and long-suffering FRANCOPHONIE. And it will be so very sweet indeed!
