Robin Williams' plan

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So here's one plan:

1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interfere" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, milosovich and the rest of those 'good ole 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 one sneaking through holes in the fence.
3. All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or what they are. France would welcome them.
4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checkec 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 and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
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-sufficent 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 just 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 some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allash or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we given them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9. Ship the UN headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building 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.

The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, "You want a piece of me?"

That is hilarious. Where did you get it?

I know USAmericans that would definitely like to do such...

The only problem is that the MNCorporations still need the CIA to do its saber-rattling to protect their Foreign Direct Investments...

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Robin Williams for president!

During uncertain times, comics are one of the best sources of hope.

Or at least, they make the free-fall a little more pleasant.
