) No taxes on vehicles that get more than 50 miles per gallon. 2) Speed limits back to 55 Listen.. I'm all about alternative fuels, and I'm even a proponent of Nuclear energy. But that's not going to stop the Islamo-Fascists unless you convert the rest of the developing and developed world to alternative fuels. Energy independence is ONE PART of the equation, but that doesn't stop these wackos from continuing to commit terrorist acts against us. So even if we're energy independent, the global economy is INTER-DEPENDENT. We must prevent the Islamo-Fascists from seizing economic power over the global oil markets. 5) True support for those that want to bring Arab countries into the western world. (remember that Islamic Asian countries are not that militant, Bali not withstanding) Define "true support"? Defending themselves against Islamo-Fascist insurgents trying to undermine their governments? 6) Out of Iraq and back to Afghanistan. Great idea!! Just leave the two places where Al Qai'da is currently fighting to Talibanize 40 million people and put them into Burkhas, and you want to just give them free rein? Should we send "welcome wagon" packages to Zarqawi, Bin Laden, and Zawahiri and tell them to "come home".. Maybe we should offer them foreign aid while we're at? 7) Get Osama. (I wouldn't be surprised if Bush announced that Osama was captured around election day 2006). Are you willing to invade Pakistan to accomplish this? What if he's in Iran? Are you willing to invade Iran? By the way you have the right to free speech. That doesn't mean you have to use it. The Zonkie-Hawkmoon dialogue is tiresome It's not my fault... I'm perfectly willing to listen to Zonkie's proposals, as I am yours. But Zonkie seems to be more focused on hating Bush than proposing some alternative strategies (even if they are flawed, or superficial as your initial attempt). So maybe you should fling some criticism towards her/him/it, rather than me?
