America doesnāt have to deal with
Iraq or Saddam

And history repeats itself once again.

Last time, we made the mistake of letting him live. Now, Saddam Hussein is thumbing his nose at the American government, daring us to make him obey the rules ÷ live between the lines.

Heās using families to protect his interests. Heās setting up schools at military objective points, cowardly shielding himself with the lives of his countryās children.

A despicable act from a despicable man.

And what does America do about it?
 

Some would say itās not our business. ćAmerica is not the worldās police force,ä they say.
But when a madman feels no compunction threatening the lives of his own people to secure his sovereignty, he poses a threat to the rest of the free world.

But it doesnāt have to be America.

Many times in the last few years Iāve heard or read Americansā complaints about how much funding this country provides Israel.

ćWhat do we get in return for this?ä they ask. Simple. A Middle East police force.
Israel has proven time and time again that it has no problem keeping that area of the world under control. With the planetās No.1 air force, it has beaten back attackers on several occasions. Often, those attackers have included many nations at once.
 

And, in the past, it has taken as little as 6 days to accomplish that. So America withdraws all of its troops from the gulf. It then fashions a contract with Israel, deputizing the country as a Middle East peacekeeping force. Objectives come from American command, however, tactics and military control are retained by Israel.

ćWhat about the U.N.?ä those people ask. Let me digress. Did you know that there is only one member country of the United Nations that is ineligible to sit on the Security Council? Iraq is eligible. Libya and South Africa are both eligible. But Israel is not. The U.N. is like communism. It looks great on paper, but when it comes to the real world, it just doesnāt work.

The United Nations is little more than a way for America to pull itself from a decision-making process while leaving itself financially and militaristically responsible for the outcome. In other words, America is the U.N.

With that semantic bout out of the way, back to what this plan does. It accomplishes a few things:

š American soldiers are pulled from harmās way.

š Funding for Israel is justified.

š The Middle East is forced into a peace it hasnāt seen in more than 50 years.
Arab world, relax. This plan does not give Israel the chance to expand its borders, turning the Arabian peninsula into the Jewish peninsula.

Israel isnāt being given free reign. It will not be allowed to act from its own compulsion, so Arab nations have no need to worry about a misuse of power.

Donāt want to have to deal with Saddam, America? Then donāt.
