A perfect peace plan? Here's the plan: 1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past &present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of them 'good old boys'. We will never "interfere" again. 2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No more sneaking through holes in the fence. 3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. And if they don't speak our language, they can start packing, too. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately,regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them. 4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there,change it yourself, don't hide here. Asylum would not ever be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers. 5) No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby. 6) The US will make a strong effort to become self sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while. 7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. 8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere". They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds,rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides' most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if any anyway. 9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, it would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens. 10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. 11) All Liberal Celebreties, bleeding hearts, journalist and general whiners & criers will be sent to Iraq, North Korea and other needy spots where they can act as human shield..permanently. Now, ain't that a winner of a plan?
Only one modification that I would recommend...the UN, and all the satellite buildings, are on some PRIMO real estate...recommend mixed use commerical/residential...generate much needed revenue for the city...
It works pretty well at establishing a country that is made up of only people who feel the way you do. Although it might do an OK job of eliminating from the country some potentially harmful people, it runs into a problem when you start figuring out who you also exclude from the country that has done nothing wrong or that might actually be very productive and talented people. Your vision shares very little with what the founding fathers sought to establish as the United States. It would be the most singularly significant blow against American democracy ever established. While you live in the fabricated Xenophobic world with your look-alike-think-alikes, you will progressively lose some of the power you crave. Your isolationist beliefs will help to encourage more trade, wealth and mutual dependency between other societies and will also promote the development of more democratic societies around the world.
Hey, huh, RSDad, you just fed a troll! Seriously, I do believe that was at least 10% jest, you'll never catch me going to "Charm and Beauty School!"
