It's too late to use my plan for avoiding the war, this is the start of the plan we can use to reconstruct Iraq.
I had been working on a plan that would have completely eliminated the need for war in Iraq. Not a single shot fired, yet everyone satisfied and happy. Yes, President Bush, his staff, the protestors on the street, the French, the Iraqi’s, everyone would have been happy with this plan; even Saddam. Unfortunately, I took to much time to get all the details worked out and they were fighting before I was done.
It was quite simple. I simply looked at the objectives of all involved, and came up with a plan to satisfy each. President Bush wanted Saddam out of Iraq; so the plan called for Saddam to be exiled. The logical choice for him to go was France. France could now achieve their objective, and would wait at the airport with the white flag of surrender. Saddam walks off the plane, as the new ruler of France; completing his objective of remaining the leader of a nation. No shots fired, which satisfies those who were out in the streets, violently protesting violence.
Well, this is no longer possible, but I am starting on the plan for the Reconstruction of Post War Iraq. We do not want a dictator to rule the country, so I propose a government by committee. Separating the powers of the Federal Government into three areas has worked in the United States, so let’s start with a committee of three individuals. The people of Iraq allowed an egotistical, power hungry individual, Saddam, to gain control; so they would probably want the same attributes for their committee of three. Now, here in the US, we are hearing rumors that several people, who have these attributes, are considering running for President in the next election; yet we do not want them! So, we satisfy Hillary, Tommy, and Dick by placing them in the three highest positions of power in Iraq. We’re satisfied, because we no longer have to deal with the three of them.
As I indicated, this is just a start. Obviously, we need to send along some help. There are plenty that we need to send to assist in the governing of Iraq. Also, since Iraq has been suppressed for so long, there is a definite need for artists, entertainers, actors, and liberated, intelligent women to enlighten the suppressed. We can satisfy several needs by sending Barbra Streisand and the Dixie Chicks to Iraq.
Well, as I stated, this is just a start, and there are many details that I missed. Feel free to make suggestions.
