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:
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 who 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 temporary drilling for oil in the Alaska 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?"
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat, and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?' "

(Perhaps there are vague echos of George Washington's farewell address in Robin's plan.)
I'm fascinated by the implication in point 1 that the rest of the world desperately needed AMERICA's help to deal with those situations. I'd be interested to know exactly how much credit the USA claims for removing Hitler and Mussolini, for example.
And the Noriega episode didn't exactly cover the nation with glory.

They saved the cheese for all of us.
Without them you'd be half jap.
Nah .. we never did nothin' and you don't owe us nothin' .. thats the whole point of pulling back .. we're wasting our resources for nothing.
Actually we're giving aid and comfort to our enemies IMO, but we're rich from our grandparent efforts and we forgot what they were all about.
The Greatest Generations values pissed away by there own spoiled little grandchildren .. you deserve what's coming.

Was this plan meant to inspire laughter? it's worthy of little else.

The 'Robin Williams' attribution for the final item was interpreted as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece circulates as 'the Robin Williams plan.' That's what it's known as no matter who said it. Anyway, whoever thought it up doesn't matter...it's a GREAT plan.

Europe was not at war with Japan, America was. We had enough to worry about with the Germans. America only got involved in the Eurpean war when France and Britain looked like they were going to both fall i.e. the last wall between Nazi Germany and the eastern sea board of the USA.
Japan attacked you, before that you were not involved in WW2 because your constitution does not allow you to enter European wars after the experiences of WW1 - I think it the Johnson Act or something like that.
Why would I be half Jap? I think I would be living under a Nazi government rather than a Japenese one had Britain lost the war. Do you really think the USA would not have to have had to fight a Nazi Eurpoe at some time?
Why not see how many US companies make their profits in Europe before you count those wasted resourses.
People in Europe are very thankful of the support the US gave during WW2 but we don't need all this crap back in return.
Question: Do you think that maybe the French seem to politically baulk the USA because they are pissed most Americans don't give them any respect for helping you win your independence in the first place?
