Here's my list of what I think should happen tomorrow: 1. Give every neocon in Washington a pink slip and a court date for the murder and destruction they've wrought in Iraq; the debt they've incurred the American public, and the loss of respect for America throughout the world.
2. Bust up media conglomerates with much hardened anti-trust laws 3. Require "news" services to give equal time/coverage to opposing points of view 4. Put America on an even-handed footing with Israel. No more taxpayer funding, no more arms and no more special treatment then we give any other like-sized country. Promote a combined democracy approach and/or anything else that might work, but the time has come for that country to stand on it's own feet and reconcile it's own conflicts. 5. Apologize to the Arabic/Muslim world for having shown them so much disrespect for so long. 6. Withdraw our military from the ME immediately. It's a lost cause and any further military involvement will only make that very bad situation worse. Immediately switch to the UN as the basis to carry on political negotiations with the countries of the ME. 7. Strengthen the UN. With a strong American commitment, it can serve it's purpose. It's been hobbled because it lacks that commitment. #1 issue is wmd disarmament. 8. Use our resources and leadership to contribute our fair share to relieving humanitarian disasters in the world. It's righteousness and the higher qualities that man aspires to, not guns, that minimizes terrorism. 9. Strengthen Interpol and UN managed police services to counter remaining terrorism. 10. Demonstrate how life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness works in the technology age by dismantling all trappings of Big Brother; insure technology works for us and never against us. 11. Institute massive building projects here and in space to challenge people and give them direction. 12. Fund and encourage an Internet -> TV merger and the use of this facility to spread education through the world. 13. Encourage international travel in every way possible 14. Force the legal system to give everyone equal access to the law. 15. Solve our energy problems by calling on all engineers to put a Herculean effort into the task Bill _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
