Frankly, the only thing that continues to make sense to me as the closest thing to a silver bullet is a war on energy largess. In other words, all of our foreign policy turned inward to focus on energy conservation and alternative fuels. For example, what if we decided not to turn China into an enemy, but instead worked with them in a joint venture to create the technologies that would free both of our countries from dependence on oil? That could potentially be the foundation for a very mutually beneficial relationship that could decades from now turn into a powerful alliance for world stability. Instead our current moronic leaders are using cold war ideology to turn China into the next bogeyman. Very short sighted.
