Since so many people seem to be mad at our govt for whatever they do in foreign affairs,I
have a solution.It should make everyone happy.
Lets go to a policy of complete isolationism.We will withdraw all US forces from
everywhere outside the US.We will close all US bases that are not in the US or its
territories.All US embassies will be closed,all US companies will be forced to close all
of their overseas operations.All US medical,financial,military and humanitarian aid will
be cut off.
Of coursethat also means that any natural disasters in the world that are not in the US
will not receive any US assistance.All UN humanitarian or "peacekeeping" operations will be
cut off from US aid or assistance.
Any foreign doctors that ask for help from the CDC in Atlanta will be refused.
We will use troops to seal our borders,and nobody that isn't a US citizen will be allowed
in,period.
Any person caught trying to sneak in will be forcibly returned to their own country.If
someone sneaks across the southern border,turn them around.Send them back with exactly
what they had when caught.
If we do this,then nobody will be able to complain about our foreign policy.We could kick
out of the country anyone that isn't a US citizen,that should add thousands of jobs to the
economy.Of course,some of those jobs will be working in the fields,planting crops and
other agricultural work,but its still a job.
That would make everyone happy...Americans will be working,US soldiers wont be in harms
way anywhere,US resources wont be wasted in another country,the Arab world wont hate
us,and the rest of the world wont have to worry about what we do.
Of course,that also means that no US products,money,or aid willgo overseas,but thats
ok.The rest of the world doesn't need anything from us anyway.
That also means moving the UN,and closing all foreign embassies in the US,but since there
wont be any foreign nationals in the US,we wont need them here anyway,will we?
Now,what is wrong with this idea? It makes everyone happy.

Whats the matter Squinney? The idea makes sense to me,and it does make everyone happy.
Also,I see you dont agree with your own signature.You need to erase that signature.
Talk about a waste of bandwidth...
Does that mean Canada doesn't have to send fire fighters and snow plow operators and electrical grid rebuilders and ... to the U.S. anymore?
Cool.

Beth,Canada NEVER had to,they did it on their own.No one forced then to,did they?
beth forgets how wide that 2-lane street actually is.
Mysteryman, it's difficult for a mouse to ignore the requests of the elephant rolling around next to it.

yes they did, and they didn't ask the US to adopt any of their policies, or build them a military base, or sign a trade agreement, or install a puppet leader or anything......suckers
So you admit that Canada is a mouse?
That doesnt say much for the Canadian people,does it?
I guess you don't know much about Canajun/American history if you don't recognize the reference there, mysteryman. Or maybe you're just young.
One would be pressed to find a more stupid and worthless example of a false dilemma than the one that heads this thread.
I don't particularly care much for either extreme - the sticking our big fat Yankee noses into everyone else's business around the world we've been doing for the past 50+ years, or the proposal at the beginning of this thread.
Can't there be the proverbial "happy medium", somewhere in the middle?
