Thought I'd spruce it up for you :)  I wouldn't be as extreme as what this list suggests, but I found it amusing ;)

Here's the plan:

1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in  their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and
the rest of them good old boys. We will never "interfere"
again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines.
They don't want us there. We would station troops at our
borders. No more 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. France would 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 would be allowed in. If you don't like it
there, change it yourself, don't hide here. Asylum would
not ever be available to anyone.  We don't need any more cab drivers.

5) No "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 non polluting 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.

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 any anyway.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place.  We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here.  Besides, it 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.

Thanks Rice, buddy!  I was in a hurry and just copied & pasted from my e-mail.  
Extreme?  Yes, but maybe not bad ideas.  Amusing?  Yes!

I received it in an email to CS, and I thought it was v. amusing, and yes, extreme. But, sarcasm and irony usually are. I am all about sarcasm and irony. ;D
