if we should happen to win a war anywhere, make the loser take it as well as selected sections of New Jersey, Cleveland and, oh what the hell, let's be good winners, all of Philadelphia and Camden.
NOW THERE AN ORIGINAL AND INTERESTING IDEA!
In this boring "Bushevic" world, it seems like EVERYONE is only thinking about what they and get, take, add to their portfolio, get get get. But I really like this idea, GIVING. Yes, it would make us appear to be generous and magnanamous, yet we would greatly benefit by GIVING to our adversaries the things that are a royal pain in the ass for us to keep.
For example.... The Islamic fundamentalist theocracies, like Iran or Afghanistan while under the Taliban, they seem to simply adore "fundamentalists" and we certainly have a surplus of fundamentalist Christians here... Let the bible thumping prigs go and "preach the gospel" and all their other life destroying crap over to people who really need to "find Jesus."
We should maybe have a little chat the the Iranian president... "Ahmed, we gonna make you an offer you can't refuse... either you accept 1,000 fundmentalist Christian immigrants per day from the U.S. for the next five years, or we vaporize your country..."
Of course, that would probably backfire on us. Eventually the fundamentalist of both faiths would see just how alike they are, and then they would be teaming up and oil would cost $500 per barrel.
I guess we should just keep it simple and stick with "Considering's" suggestion, force some of our adversaries to take custody of some of the less desirable spots.
