Bring Our Troops Home - By Outsourcing the War on Terror to the R.I.Ch. countries: Russia, India, China
These three countries have large Muslim minorities, and all have a
problem with Muslim extremists affiliated with global jihad, as well as
being separatists. The three countries border each other and don't all
necessarily employ Western-liberal methods of dealing with terror. They
are growing powers with dynamic economies who are interested in carving
out spheres of influence and being major players on the world stage.
Together they have about half the world's population and cover most of
Asia. All three are fighting terorrist Muslim organizations seeking to
pull off territory to create a Muslim country.
If the USA would take a low profile internationally, bring back all our
troops from Europe, Korea, Japan and the Middle East, and some other
personnel, and export a little bit less of our
MTV-Hollywood-Liberalism-human-rights values and culture to the Middle
East where it threatens local cultures and religious and politcal
leaderships, perhaps the Global Jihad would see us as a less relevant
enemy and turn their energies to the RICh countries.
We could use the time beneficially to concentrate on our own welfare,
creating a country which truly provides equal opportunity to all,
improving education and health care, and finding economically viable
alternative sources of energy. And if in the meantime this would for
some reason result in a drop in our standard of living, well we could
retrench a bit without starving; and if this would inevitably reduce us
to a non-Super-Power, then that may not be so bad, after all
Switzerland is insular and the Swiss seem happy not to be a superpower,
and the Scandinavians are not exactly a super power and yet they seem
relatively satisfied with their country.
