1) Do a marshall type plan, build a democracy, take ten years and do it right.
2) We have plenty of manpower to control Iraq, sure maybe we need to remove troops from places like Japan and Germany to balance things out. Secondly I am talking about a 50 year plan, stabilize Iraq, get it on the right road where our troops arent needed, atleast in the same numbers, and pick the next worst hostile dictatorship to invade. Everyone else can just get trade sanctioned to death. Sure such broad trade sanctions will hurt our economy some, but if we give american companies prefer access to Iraq and the like it will help balance it out.
3) So we lost face, and were stupid fucks for forty some years, does that mean we should continue be dumbasses. Look, the american powerhouse has an unprecedent ability to spread democracy and peace throughout the world, personally in my perspective, doing so is the only way to keep us from collapsing in on ourselves as we are doing now.
4) I would agree, but we need to grow a pair of balls and realize that lots of ugly things need doing, better to get em done and done correctly than waste our energies trying to make ugly things pretty for right now.
5) yeah bogie for president would be pretty sweet. But I would settle for someone who could actually lead with a little bit of guts and integrity.
