Can we recover?
OK anyone else see this mid east thing is getting out of control? It seems a little extreme that the Israelis are bombing the shit out of a whole country because they kidnapped some soldiers. If we did stuff like that, there would be a bunch of nations that would closely resemble parking lots right now. It feels like this is a puppet fight between two countries with our administration pulling strings on one side and Iran/Syria pulling strings on the other. I have a feeling that this is going to get incredibly ugly if true connections are made. If this escalates much more, the USA is going to be in an all out war we could very well loose. As much as it pains me to say it, every great civilization has its peak and we may be past ours. Thing's can only go on so long before something snaps and we may be at that point as a nation. In a way the cold war was comforting compared to what we're up against now.
Glenn's solutions:
Readopt isolationism.
Let's start minding our own business. Let's forget the outside world for a while and look at doing some housekeeping. Clean up the boarders and build "Fortress America." Let us accept defeat and withdraw. Just throw up our hands and say "Fuck it! You guys win this battle." Let us bring our soldiers home and post them within our nation to guard the homeland. Let's shut off emigration for a while and clean that system up before we open the doors to the huddles masses once again.
Wait until they beg for help instead of forcing our help upon them.
If people really need assistance they reach out. It's not our job to police the world. From now on, when the UN asks us to be their big stick we need to ask them "What's in it for us?" When ever they decide that it's time to enforce the resolutions they keep passing, and regimes keep ignoring, they need to beg for our assistance. We supply the biggest force for dealing with these thugs and we front most of the bill as well. Then we go blow the shit out of them and take all the flack when a bomb goes astray. To top it all off, we rebuild all the shit we just blew up and prop them up after we're done. They keep taking and taking and we just keep giving and giving.
Lets straighten out our deficit.
This is a one step process. Rewind the clock back to 1946. Tally all bills owed to the US for lend/lease, raw materials and loans. Just from three nations. Russia, Britain, and France. Adjust for interest and inflation over sixty years and ask for our money and equipment back. Poof! Deficit gone.
Peer pressure works.
When dealing with these rouge states, we need to warn their people, not just their government, that they are all accountable for the actions of their country. Much like they do to us. Then maybe they will try to reign their own government instead of us doing it for them. We also need to take back our own government. These fat asses up in Washington are so far out of touch with reality that they need a good slap in the face to bring them back around. I have no idea how to do this other than going around and slapping each and every one. We need to show these idiots exactly who the boss is. It's us! We run this damn country not them!!!
