Pretending to take his plan semi-seriously...
1) considering that US action actually helped put Hussein into power directly... we kinda gotta apologize for that. But we fixed that one, didn't we.
2) kay, lol. lot of troops sitting around doing nothing. You could thin down the army since it's only got the US to really be stationed in and cover from... but those soldiers gotta be able to find employment after their contract is up too. Which ties into #1, where the government also acts with global influence to protect american companies (read as resources and manufacturing plants, etc) set up in those countries. Hmm, is this were them allegations of big business interests having too much say in government? mayhap.
3) Seems bad. Keep what we got and sever it at that? Just cuz illegal, doesn't mean bad, and if you close down the borders mentioned in #2, you wouldn't have to worry about any more coming in.
4) Actually, that's a damn fair point, what with ideas like democracy and self-determination: allowing other countries/people to decide the way their country runs... Well, do we play the advanced alien species and leave them to their own devices until they're advanced enough to make contact? There's really the whole dichotomy of self-determination and "with great responsibility..." going on here and who can say which one is more correct?
5) What? I thought he was gonna keep them out with the border security stuff.
6) Seems good. Dunno what the plans would be for the drilling and the pipelines but I imagine they COULD be done with pretty minimal impact to the local wildlife.
7) We consume all that shit. Their own countrymen and neighboring countries just don't have the demand or the capability to compensate for sale losses if we really worked on becoming more energetically self-sufficient. Watch them oil sheiks sweat it out.
8) Self-imposed responsibility vs self-determination again. It's damn harsh, but maybe it would get them to get shit done.
9) w/e
10) silly comedian. =P But yeah, come at me bro. We'd be keeping to ourselves then. See how many wars start without the US to back one side or another. On the downside... the plotline of Homefront could happen if the US did NOTHING to stymie the actions of nations hostile to it. English is the primary language, but if they don't want to learn/speak it and can get away with it and still make a living, etc, then let them at it. It's stupid to expect everybody to know english when the origins of so many people are so recently foreign. It's merely for your convenience for them to learn english but to their advantage to learn english and broaden their ties, both social and business... And so free market economy will dictate the degree to which english is learn all over the world, just as it does now.
