Well, I think it is time for...

[Mathman]

... a real solution to the issues that we (the US) seems to be having with the rest of the world.

1.  Develop alternative fuel sourse - be it natural gas, electricity or beer, we will no longer need to use the Middle East as a gas station.

2.  Pull the military back from forward deployed bases - they don't want us, cool, then we can play with the cool toys at home.

3.  Lock the borders - sorry guys, we are full.

4.  Pull out of NATO and any other entanglements, except for the Brits, we like them (sometimes)

5.  Annex Mexico - no need to worry about illegal immigrants if they are citizens, plus it makes for a smaller border to have to patrol.

6.  Ignore cries for help from around the world - they really don't want our help, just want us to go there so they can squeak about us being there.

7.  Sit back, turn on CNN and see if everyone can survive without us, they probably will, but they may not, and that could be very entertaining.

If things get way out of hand, remember, sometimes, you need to spank your kids.

[Nash]

One word: Exile.

You sure Exile would want her?

It's real dangerous for me to be doing that.  I have been on here ranting and raving about Sodomy... err  Sadom and the other no-good doers of the world.  Maybe I was wrong, maybe instead of taking them out before they really do some damage (like 9-11 wasn't enough )  Maybe we should do exactly as mathman says.  I like it, piss on them, or better yet lets not even piss on them if they are on fire.   No more comming to the rescue of the French, 2x in the last 100 years is enough.  No more forign aid money.  No more bargining or playing games with people who try to play power games with us to gain leverage at the table.  If they can't help us we no longer treat them as a country.   To hell with the UN, Nato, pacific rim trade pact.  Nafta won't matter because we will own Canada and Mexico.......   Yea I like it.  

Or better yet, Why don't we just stick our head in the sand, close our eyes, click our heals together 3x and when we pull our heads out the world will be full of peace, love and roses.

OK, Pongo... if you make sure the all the Snowbirds don't fly south for the winter.

[Hangtime]

click our heals together 3x

Actually, I think it might be fun to go back to europe one LAST time. For old times sake. You know.. kick over some garbage cans, swipe a few hubcaps, play some 'ding-dong ditch it', get laid all night fer a pack of smokes.

Maybe shoot a few french collaborationist salamanders.

[OIO]

I say we give Celine a face lift and send her over to France.

I hear they would appreciate the milk curdling quicker to make that smelly cheese....
