So, if I understand you correctly, your favored strategy in dealing with Al Qaeda would be to: -Withdraw immediately from Iraq -Cease all aid to Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Persian Gulf States -Discontinue all pushes for UN oversight of Iran's nuclear program -Impose a tariff on oil imports such that the price of oil consumption exceeds to price of renewable energies produced in the US Do I have your policy correct?
