This has been attributed (then refuted) to Robin WIlliamns, but, wherever it comes from, I think it's great.

"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 "interference" in their affairs, past &present. We will promise never to "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. 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 day visits 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 for 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 gets "lost" or is taken by their army. The people who need it most get very little, anyway.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here.

10) Use the buildings as replacement for the twin towers.

11) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.

12) "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?' "

I like it!!!

It's a great idea, unfortunately Robin Williams didn't say it. You can check it out here; http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/williams.asp

I dont care who said it, ITS GOOD!!

I agree!!!

I'm not an American,but I like it too! derf

I'm sorry but what happens to all the workers in the third largest export industry in the USA - the armaments industry

Our side arms, machine guns, and rifles are made by FN and Beretta. All the arms companies are howling because congress may pass a law that all military equipment should be manufactured with american made parts. I think most of the heavier parts (tank tracks, hulls, and artillery tubs) are still manufactured here because shipping from china is still too expensive .

I agree in principle, but there are flaws. Mainly, what are we gonna do with the tree-hugging liberal democrats???

Send them to Arabia to hug trees??? derf

They got trees in Saudi??? Actually, whoever wrote that piece forgot one item. If and when folks come asking for help, we either get cash up front or a lien on the country! No more free lunch!
