My solution would be to get the Iraqis to defend their own country. The only reason there is so much violence and unrest there is because of the insurgents and Al Qaeda operatives who are there. They weren't in Iraq before we got there, and once we're gone, they will leave.

We would be much better off if we told Iraq that they have six months to take over ALL of their own internal security work. Then we could withdraw most of the troops and launch a surge in Afghanistan on Al Qada's home turf. Who knows? Maybe we would even find Osama Bin Laden -- the guy responsible for 911 and who runs Al Qaeda from the shadows.

As for Israel -- they can take care of themselves pretty well, and hasn't anyone ever told them that as Jews, it's a horrible idea to live smack dab in the middle of a bunch of feuding Muslim arabs? I mean it's like being the whitest guy in the world and moving into Harlem. Trouble is just bound to follow.

To take care of Iran, we need to do a better job of making freinds with the Egyptians and Saudis. We could help with a little funding and a few trainers and adviser, then we could just sit back and let them kick some Iranian ass.
