RECOLONIZE THE MIDDLE EAST

Perhaps it's time to recolonize the Middle East. If we get our NATO allies and Russia together with us on the same page and invade the entire Muslim Middle East and re-establish European run colonial governments, we could save a lot of money on oil and put an end to government sponsored terrorism. Together, this alliance would have 90% of the world's military might. Without the mother's milk of oil revenue, it will be far more difficult fot terrorists to obtain the financing for nuclear weapon development or purchase. Russia could administer Iran, France could administer Syria, Britain could administer Egypt and Jordan, Italy could administer Lybia, and the US could administer Iraq and the Arabian peninsula. Western oil companies would run the oil fields and all financial/political power would be denied to radical muslims. Maybe in the next century that area might be ready for independence. In the meantime, bring back the colonies.

Doing this could make the difference in whether our port cities (all our major cities) are exposed to nukes stowed in conntainers on ships in the next few years. Unless we act we face the staggering loss of millions of lives and trillions of USD in property. Thank God the Israelis bombed Iraq's nuclear facilities many years ago... now much wider action is imperative.

Ya know, all the libs say we're stealing their oil. At least, we could say, 'yep! we sure are, now' so all this screaming and moaning isn't for nothing.

[FostersExport]

Unrealistic, I think is the most diplomatic thing I can say about this piece.

Do you have a link for this article ?

The Western European influence in the Middle East did not come from the few decades they had mandates in the region after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Your comment was more polite than some people who disagree. It is unrealistic.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

The author does not seem to know much about Middle Eastern (southwestern Asian) history.

[Dallas59]

Muslims aren't worth the trouble.

After two or three major US cities get nuked, you will think back to your comment and say "We should have taken control of the area before it was too late."

[20mm lib babies in city dumps]

It is not that they aren't worth the trouble, it's that our cities are worth the trouble.

It could make for a fun movie, but in real life it's politically impossible to assemble the willpower to do this.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

The author seems to be a Euro-kiss-up. It has European run governments, not American. Also, why Russia? They are having difficulty with the Chechens.

The author is probably a mild racist (not intentional, but one). There is no mention about Japan especially, but even some of the nics such as Korea, Taiwan (though China would probably object), etc. China also could be used if Russia is going to.

Thank you for playing.

[Bella_Bru]

Yeah...because Europeans need the added problem of colonies. Colonies are expensive and require bloated administrations.

Nice try though.

Here is the only solution, and thank God this one not only will work, its inevitable.

Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
