Solutions for America, A new series of Blogs by Ken

I have the need to vent!

Sometimes what is going on around us in this country and around the world just get to weighing too much not to rant.  While Rowdy is ranting about everyday life things, I want to take the time to talk about some common sense solutions to the problems in this world as I see it.

This series of blogs is my opinion and my opinion alone (unless you agree with me, then it can be yours too).

The subject of the first blog is the mideast and our presence there.

It has become increasingly apparent to me that there is absolutely no way we are going to influence the radical islamists (oops, not PC) to give up their ways and bring their population into the 19th century (not a typo).  It is in the interest of the ruling fundamental muslim clerics to keep their population in the dark ages.  Enlightenment and education (especially for women) is discouraged and they are all pretty much forced (through Sharia law) to toe the cleric line.

There is also no effort on the part of our government to directly address the subject of radical islamists, much less use the term.  The administration's statements that Al Qaida is on the run are ludicrous, and the Taliban (in light of our departure deadline) are set to take over the corrupt regime of Afghanistan the minute we leave.  What are we waiting for, do we need to sacrifice more blood and treasure to wait for an inevitable ending?

So here is my common sense solution to the problem:

1.  Effective immediately, remove all our troops and embassies from country's that hate us, including ones like Saudi Arabia and Egypt who we pretend are our friends.

2.  Stop all foreign aid to those countries.

3.  Here is the neat part:  Immediately develop our VAST oil reserves and the Canadian pipeline.  Now we are not DEPENDENT upon these countries who just milk us for money and turn it into arms against us.

4.  Issue the following statement to the WORLD:

 "The United States of America hereby states that any country that sponsors an attack against any American person or business will be subject to retaliation, immediate and severe.  The US will not attack innocent civilian populations in these countries, but will severely devastate infrastructure in those offending countries, (oil fields, refineries, etc.)  We have the means to do this with no risk to our own population, but at a great risk to yours.The US will not seek United Nations, or any other world powers before retaliating for any attack."

While we are on that subject, we will evict the United Nations from the US within 1 year, since nothing that is done in that building is ever in our favor and we bear the greatest burden of cost for this non-performing entity.  Let one of the countries that hates us put up a building for them.

5.  Since we removed the troops from those countries, I have a use for them on our border, but that will be in my next blog on "How to Secure the Border".

6.  STOP IRAN from getting a nuke!  (another blog subject upon which I have some expertise, and of course opinions)

That is about all that I want to put in this first blog, I could go on and on, but enough is enough for now.

I would really love it if some of you would respond.  I promise to address any comments that are put to me in good faith.
