I received this in an email awhile back but thought it was quite appropriate now.
The Plan!
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.
You gotta love Robin Williams...Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!) "I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good 'ole' boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH, learn it or LEAVE.
Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

Of course, the vast majority of "the plan" is inane (and likely the original creater is well aware of it), yet this one still jumped out at me:
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
... for the sheer stupidity of it. The reason gas prices are high is because there is a lot of demand for it. Any oil we didn't purchase from "Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries" would be pretty quickly snatched up by emerging economies in India and China.
This is Robin Williams, it is meant to be funny. Not to be taken seriously, it just feels good to let off some steam. It actually says something that I know that I have actually felt. So Please just take a moment breathe and laugh.
Yeah, I know it was meant to be funny .. and for the most part it is. I just commented on 7 because I found the idea behind it mind-numbingly stupid ... and I just "know" someone, somehere out there on the internet is posting this as a serious approach.
("Know" in quotes because I don't really _know_ it, although it's certianly the way I would bet. :)
aq12wsxOr, if you are Saudi Arabia, you can increase production, dropping the overall price of oil, and constrict the overspent governments of Iran and Venuzuela who have become very accustomed to the high price of oil. This is likely to put more pressure on their leadership as the bills they have recently run up become due, especially as they have put little in the way of infrastructure in place to produce more oil than their current output.
I would hope that our government would consider something like this if they haven't already. $1 a gallon gas would bring Iran to it's knees economically, and it is well withing Saudi Arabia's power to get it there. Let's see just how much they fear Iran.
Getting more oil online out of Iraq would help as well.
