I'd make nice with Iran. In the long run, the US interests are far more with Iran than with anyone else, including Israel. No concerns about iran nukes in the region?? so we wouldnt stand in the way?? I'd force the Saudies to level off and behave or else I'd help the Saudi Shia, who happen to have all the oil anyway, to break away. we take sides in the war within islam to support your lanceman the persians and shiaas?? Do you hate the sunnis? I'd push for a real and equitable solution to the Pal-Israel problem. This means that the Pals should have all the resources that to make a viable state, rather than two barren strips of land that are miles apart. What additional lands would you take from israel to accomplish this viable state--doesnt sound like 67 borders are enough for you. Most importantly, I'd stick my nose out of internal affairs of all other nations and would generate some good will by building hospitals, schools, and other social works in countries that are of interest. cool In short, I'd become a good world citizen and a pillar of stability. The problem is, that no president is going to have the power to do that. Among other things, it is in the interest of a good chunk of US power brokers to see a never-ending enmity and chaos between Arabs and Israelis. who and why? Nor are the oil companies interested in stable cheap oil or alternative energy supplies. So I am not holding my breath. ST PS It is not true that we buy most of our oil from Saudis...again, you are believing what you are told rather than looking at the interests involved. where do most of our imports come from then besides US and canada? I am not sure
