Solution to war
Monday, February 5 at 3:34 PM

There is a graceful, expansive and uplifting solution to our wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Philippines. One that will stop terrorism completely.
If our Soldiers were conditioned to fearlessly appreciate and respect those citizens. Turn their mission to risking their own health and progeny with the impossible job of cleaning up the nano-particulate uranium 238 poisoning the children and elders where we attack. If we open all the prisons that we’ve build there and release the thousands dragged from their homes by US soldiers in midnight raids, incarcerated without due process, humiliated and tortured and apologized to them profusely. Pay them to train and form construction companies to rebuild the infrastructure we destroy and poison with uranium 238 nano-particles. If we open their courts to prosecute US for their losses. Reinstall the free education through university, free universal health care, full range of farm subsidies and enhancement programs, artist patronage’s and 25 cent a gallon gas that Iraqi enjoyed under Salaam Hussein after he’d nationalized their oil resources from Exxon and BP. If we stop hiring Shiites to police Sunni and Sunni to police Shiites. Tear down the walls to the green zone and turn complete control of them and their lands over to themselves. If we encourage them to copy the European Union Constitution with its adherence to Universal Human Rights and protections for provincial cultures and sign on to them ourselves. I think that then we can exit these wars to the greater benefit of mankind.

You must be kidding, it's got to be a joke
What’s next, swinging the jaildoors open for murderers rapists and pedophiles and apologizing to them

We should also all convert to Islam, but which form Shia or Sunni? Oh dear, utter surender is harder than I thought it would be.

Notice how "Salaam" Hussein is praised for giving his citizens cheap gasoline but NO mention of the 100s of 1000s he murdered, tortured, and raped? Or the 2 wars he started? Also, see the praise lavished on the Europeans and their constitution?? The Euros have given us about 100 million dead in the last century, 2 world wars, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco, Milocivek, the Holocaust, nazism, fascism, socialism, and communism. I don't think we have much to learn from them, but why do so many just idolize the Euros and their ways?
Also, the cheap shot at BP and Exxon. Yea, those "evil" oil companies again, bringing technology and wealth to the 3rd world and allowing them to SELL their ONLY resource to the world and feed their people. Yea, they are so evil.
Jeff Hoffman is quite the little left wing KOOK isn't he???

John go home to your mommy Hanoi Jane. she would be so proud of you for making a complete a** of your self in the name of world peace.
John as for the profits of the oil companies don't worry your pretty little head about that. hill has alread said she will take a lesson from hugo chavez in Venezuela, and nationalize the oil companies so the government will get all that money to spend keeping the like of you out of trouble.
