The other day I figured out our Iraq withdrawal strategy. We just let our newly-democratic friends in Iraq vote on it.
What an excellent show of faith in their ability to self-govern!
If they vote to run independently, then we make some historic speeches and begin leaving things in their competent hands. Call us if you need anything!
If they vote to keep the U.S. army around, then we encourage them to step up their own financial and human support. Since they've ASKED us to stay now, clearly they're ready to be better hosts. Perhaps they'd like to invite some European countries to join the party as well?
In either case, the U.S. saves face, the Iraqi democracy gets to flex some muscle, and we throw less into this ruinous money hole. Everybody wins!
Mr. President, I believe the NSA has my number. You know how to reach me.

An excellent idea that covers many bases. The only downside is way too much common sense in your suggestion for the politicians of today.
Perhaps you should start making prank phone calls to the White House. :)
At least modern politicians don't duel for honor any more. Seems pretty commonsensical not to shoot people for being rude. So... progress?
I sit open-mouthed when I try to figure out how the world seems to be getting better and worse at the same time. I mean, really, things are going better for us now than they ever have -- except for all the unprecedented crap. How can that be?
