I am as far away from being a demoncrap or RINO Representative or Senator as one can be but I'll put up a plan. NUKE EM! Stop trying diplomacy. Pull our troops out. Hit Iraq with as many nukes as we can to kill every single man woman and child in that country. Tell all other countries that the civilized world isn't going to put up with their childish s*** any longer and then start dividing the radioactive countryside of Iraq between the surrounding nations to clean up and use how they see fit provided they use it in a way that is conducive with living peacefully with the rest of the world.
Anything less than this is a waste of time. There is never a real and lasting peace so long as you have people that want to kill you. One once said, "There is no peace so long as your enemy is alive." Bush and all others wishing to use diplomacy to strike a lasting peace in the Islamic world is deceiving themselves and lying to the world.
Of course this is just my opinion.
We need to "Rock Their Casbahs" eh? Sometimes, I feel that same way.
You do realize your plan would kill millions of Iraqis desirous of freedom, to get a few thousand bad Iraqis and the terrorists flooding their country. Sad.
This is a great read regarding Iraq and an excerpt:
Iraq and the Ghost of Johnnie Cochran
...the US set out to do what's never been done before: simultaneously topple a tyrant, aid in reconstituting a nation, help in rebuilding that country. The Marshall Plan didn't begin until three years after Germany fell from a six-year war and took two more years to complete: eleven years from war to reconstruction.
Iraq has had a third as much time.
American success brought on the savagery in Iraq today: Saddam dead, Uday dead, Qusay dead, Zarqawi dead, the deck of cards shredded, constitution endorsed by an enormous majority, parliament seated and legislating on topics no other Arab country would touch, prime minister taking charge, schools and clinics and water and electricity and commerce rising.
Would-be successors see Iraq slipping out of their grasp. And so they attack.
Maybe you should suggest using MOABs. That way there is no radiation fallout on other non-targeted nations and the US isn't branded with using nukes again, justifying someone else using a nuke against us. It will take more bombs, but they're like Frito's - We'll make more.
How about we trade the far-left wing Dummies who hate this country so much with the innocent iraqis?
IMHO, just a thought.
Of course that will never happen. What was I thinking?
If we're gonna nuke someone, do Iran. Then put up a list of cities everywhere else we know there are terrorists, and say for every terrorist strike anywhere against our interests, we choose one city from the list at random.
I'll go out on a limb and say all this crap would stop.
