Forget Bush & Kerry, Williams for president

Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan . what
we
>need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
>Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
>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

>
>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

but
>will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness.
The

>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

>rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give
them

get
>very little, anyway.

I do agree with everything said above, especialy the part about 'not interfering'. If they don't want our help so be it, but don't let them come begging for our help when their country is plagued or blown away. Remember, they said they didn't want our help.

Gee, I thought for a minute I was reading Pat Buchanan's presidential platform!! Some good points there, regardless of who wrote it.

Whether it was Robin Williams or not, its about time someone got over the "politically correct" b.s. and showed some brass.

On edit: after re-reading the article, it sounds Limbaughesque.

I am a DittoHead and proud of it!

Proof that it would work? Look how angered Germany was when W said he would re organize the troops and pull ours from Germany.
