RPC ROSESMAWAR 2Saya barusan membuka e-mail dari mailbox saya di  yahoo.com dan tercengang ada kiriman e-mail dari Presiden Amerika Serikat Barack Obama. E-mail tersebut dikirimkan langsung dari Washington, D.C. pada hari ini dari markas Komite Nasional Demokratik yang beralamat :  430 South Capitol Street SE, Washington, D.C. 20003.

Congratulation to President Barack Obama, selamat kepada presiden Obama yang telah memenangkan hadiah Nobel Perdamaian 2009.  Sangat pantas dan tepat bagi seorang Obama yang sangat rendah hati, sederhana dan sangat mencintai perdamaian dimanapun dikolong bumi ini. Pelan namun pasti, semua peperangan yang diwariskan pendahulunya mantan presiden George W. Bush akan dicarikan solusi yang paling tepat untuk masing-masing peperangan itu.

Seperti yang sudah kita ketahui, semua tentara Amerika Serikat telah ditarik dari Irak. Dan kini Presiden Obama bersiap mencarikan jalan keluar terbaik bagi peperangan di Afghanistan agar nantinya tercipta ‘win-win solution’ bagi kedua negara. Di dewan keamanan PBB Presiden Obama juga berpidato dan menyerukan pentingnya ‘Dunia tanpa senjata nuklir’ menetralisir ucapan Ahmadinejad presiden Iran yang berorasi dengan berapi-api dipenuhi emosi yang meledak-ledak menjelaskan tentang proses pengayaan uranium dikota Qom, Iran.

Usaha dan berbagai cara yang dilakoni Presiden Obama untuk mendinginkan ketegangan antara negara-negara Barat dan Dunia Islam serta antara negara maju dengan terrorisme samar-samar akan tetapi telah terasa dampaknya bagi kita semua.  Bukan hal mustahil bila nanti akhirnya terjadi perdamaian antara musuh bebuyutan Israel dan Palestina dalam kurun waktu kepresidenan Barack Obama. Netan Yahu dan Mahmud Abbas sudah mulai melunak, dan para mahasiswa serta hadirin merasa adem dan sumringah tatkala Obama berkata ‘Assalamuallaikum’ saat membuka pidatonya di Kairo University…

Inilah kutipan lengkap dari message yang saya terima via e-mal sebagai berikut :

Friend,

This morning Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6.00 a.m we received word that I’ve been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

To be honest, I do not feel  that I deserve to be in  the company of so many of the transformative figures who’s been honored by this prize.. men and women who’ve inspired me and inpired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it’s also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

That’s why I’ve said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won’t all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it’s recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone..

This award.. and the call to action that comes with it..does not belong simply to me  or my administration; it belongs to all people  around the world that who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So, today we humbly recommit to the important work that we’ve begun together. I’m grateful that you’ve stood with me thus  far and I ‘m honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama.
