Henry Hyde has proposed a Marshall Plan for the Middle East. Remember, the original Marshall Plan only occurred after the total defeat and occupation of Nazi Germany. So let’s put the Rand study and Hyde’s bill in perspective.

My conclusion is that the American conquest and occupation of the oil-bearing lands of the Middle East -- the hostile takeover of OPEC -- is on schedule. Maps will be redrawn as nations are merged or split apart by American command. The former Iraq will eventually end up as the Palestinian homeland.

Once this is done, there is only one way to prevent decades of terrorism aimed at us -- drag the Arab world kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. It means jump-starting their economies the way we did with West Germany in the early Fifties. Once that happens and a technocratic middle class is created, a path is set for the absorption of Western culture, and the Arabs will be assimilated.

Rand put together a 35 year plan much like this for the shah in 1954. The shah’s goal was to follow the path of West Germany. By 1989, had he lived, his goal was to abdicate and turn Iran over to his son as a constitutional monarchy on the British model. By then, he and Rand felt, there would be a technocratic middle class that could support self-rule. Of course, he miscalculated and gave us Khomenei.

Taking the oil fields is inevitable because we can’t allow the oil weapon to be wielded by an enemy. Once here was a Soviet Union to prevent us from making such a power play. Now there is no one.

During the first and second oil shocks in the Seventies, the Arab leaders talked about using that windfall to enhance the wealth and welfare of their peoples. Instead, they bought arms to defend themselves from each other and wasted the rest of it on liquor and whores.

The eventual goal is to take the oil fields and handle the distribution of the oil money the way it should have been done in the first place. We’ll try to win hearts and minds by winning wallets first. The goal is to have the occupied Arabs view us the way the Germans and Japanese did by the Fifties.

I would assume that once we merge Saudi Arabia into our new secular Arab “democracy” – under American and Israeli supervision – we will be helping extremist mullahs and religious radicals meet the 72 virgins, in a pattern reminiscent of de-Nazification.

Yes, the conquest of Saudi Arabia is inevitable. If we don't, the festering sore of Wahhabism will continue to threaten us.

Is that for real? How many is "several"?

I've been hoping some of those really militant Saudi Wahabi clerics would be dispatched to meet Allah....

Once we've taken the oil fields, and hung all the sheiks and mullahs, the danger will come from the corrupting influence of all that power and control over wealth will have on the US government

Then again, they're pretty far along that path even without the oil fields

Hmm, what makes you think that Israel will expel the Palestinians to Iraq? I'm just wondering. That's a good way to end the solution. No Arab countries want to accept them, but that will change once we take over Iraq.

Iran is about to fall from the weight of the mullahs' corruption and repression.

It's funny, but with the young generation, and if (when) the mullahs lose their power, it may be the most friendly country to the Americans, just as they were in the 70's when the Shah was in power.

Don't forget that we must supervise the kind of Islam that is being taught. And also in schools, the kids must not be taught "Death to the Jews and Infidels!" as they proceed to burn Israeli and American flags.

The time is perfect, and we have a legitimate reason of why we should be able to seize the oil fields. They thought that they were able to mess around with America.

Not so. They'll wish that they were not that stupid in the first place.

I would assume that once we merge Saudi Arabia into our new secular Arab “democracy” – under American and Israeli supervision – we will be helping extremist mullahs and religious radicals meet the 72 virgins, in a pattern reminiscent of de-Nazification.

Exactly, and also when we have trials of radical islamic terrorists, we should bring back public hanging so all the people may watch. They'll see that we're making an example out of those who dared to mess with America.

They'll learn not to provoke us again.

Yes, the conquest of Saudi Arabia is inevitable. If we don't, the festering sore of Wahhabism will continue to threaten us.

You got that right. If we don't do it soon, it is still inevitable because the terrorists will strike again. So we have to take action toward the Saudis, no matter what.
