Leave it to Robin
Williams¹ to come up with the perfect plan…what we need now is for
our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

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. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo,
   Noriega, Milosovich and the rest of those good ol’ boys: We will never
   “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 one 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 days 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 and
   don’t hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don’t
   need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5. No “students” over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If
   they don’t attend classes, they get a “D” (for “deport”) 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 of 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 some place else.
   They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of
   the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
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 is stolen or given to the Army. The people who need it most
   get very little, if anything.
9. Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We
   don’t need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the
   building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal
   aliens.
10. All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way no
    one can call us “Ugly Americans” any longer. The language we speak is English…learn it…or leave…

You know, coming from Robin Williams¹, it might be just crazy enough to work.

Watch this space for my analysis of whether or not the author of this peace plan can be considered a Libertarian.

¹ I checked this out on Snopes and it wasn’t really written by Robin Williams, it’s been erroneously attributed to him.
