Say you're the president, and you are in charge Sept. 11th, 2001 when we are bombed.  

The smoke clears, you look around: Al Qaeda is claiming responsibility; Terrorist groups around the world are applauding the deaths of 3000 American civilians, Saddam Hussein is in breach of his cease-fire agreement with the U.S., and applauding the attacks, N. Korea is in breach of U.N. agreements and developing nuclear weapons, etc.

What is your plan of strategy? Now, keep in mind, before Sept. 11th, terrorists had been making threats for years, even decades, and we haven't done anything to stop them.  Now, one of the threats, from Al Qaeda, has came true, and they have done the unspeakable.  

What is your plan.

Well... firssst, I would buy lots of little doilies, and have a big TEA PARTY IN THE ROSE GARDEN.  I would invvite Palestinian Leaders, and Israeli Leaders, and Bin Ladin, and Hes Bolla Bolla, and those guys up there in Ireland that have been fighting for centuries, and I would invite the leader of North Korea, and we'd all sit down with crumpets and tea, and talk about how we can all just get along.  Bin Ladin claims he wants to kill every American Child on the face of the earth, and, well... heh... I gotta admit he's got a great head start with his recent, um... extra-curricular activities in New York... well, I think the real problem is he needs a hug.  OR! Wait! I just got a great idea.  WE COULD TAX EVERYONE IN AMERICA AN EXTRA DOLLAR a week, and then give the proceeds to Mr. Bin Ladin, or donate it to his favorite charity.  I think that would probably help us better Understand him.  I always chill at the thought of the word "terrorists", because, after all, there's nothing a hug and taxes can't fix.

Mr. Hussein from the great people's slaveship of Iraq regretfully won't be able to attend.  I tried calling all afternoon, but apparently he and Hanz Blitz are out playing hide the warhead again... I was reading over the cease-fire agreement he signed with us 15 years ago, and ... well... he hasn't really kept up his end of the bargain... and he won't return my phone calls... and he was on television laughing and applauding Mr. Bin Ladin's actions in New York... and he attempted to Assasinate one of those nasty, evil Republican presidents that preceded me... and we've held 14 Joint Sessions @ the U.N., and had 14 unanimous um... 'decisions' to send him um... 'resolutions'... um.... 'asking' him to 'please' abide by the cease fire agreement he signed... but I'm sure, if given enough time, he will start cooperating with us.  I'm sure he means no harm... we'll just leave him to rape and pillage his people un-interrupted... I hear he has a hearing problem, and that is known to make a man... well... not be himself.  We're praying for you, Saddam!

Well, it's off to re-decorate the oval office.  There's these strange creamy stains under the desk, and I guess we're going to have to just throw the whole thing out!  

Oh wait, there's something coming through from the fax machine: "C.I.A. Bulletin: Palestinians holding demonstrations in the streets of the west bank burning U.S. flags" and an effigy of me?  THEY LIKE ME!!!! THEY REALLY, TRULY, LIKE ME!!!!

Here is my plan:

1.  I would immediately end all support for Isreal and accept responsibility for creating much of the problem when the US Government and Harry S. Truman created a Jewish state in the heart of the Arab world without consulting the Arabs.

2.  I would remove all of our troops from Saudi Arabia, because American troops near the Holy cities of Mekkah and Medina is threatening to Muslims.

3.  I would remove all sanctions on Iraq, because sanctions that destabalize a country's economy and kill thousands of children never goes over well with the population of a country.

4.  I would allow North Korea the right to biuld one or two nukes, considering the United States has hundreds of them.  Every country has the right to defend themselves.


-----That would solve the whole problem without one person dying.  But I guess that's not good enough for business so Bush went another route to please the corporate world.

Don Seer:

2.. rubbish.

3.. iraqi sanctions were buy the UN, not the US. things will change in iraq once the new govt. is installed and proves itself.

4.. and when they use them to attack south korea? what will you say then?

like has been said before, america has no history of attacking its neighbors. they are there for defence.

it wouldnt solve all the problems either, you're very very naive.
