"if i were the president, i could stop terrorist
attacks against the united states in a few days. permanently.
i would
first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished,
and all the many millions of other victims of american imperialism. then
i would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that
america's global interventions have come to an end, and inform israel
that it is no longer the 51st state of the usa but now—oddly enough—a foreign country. i would then reduce the military budget by at least
90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. there would
be more than enough money. one year's military budget of 330 billion dollars
is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since jesus christ
was born.
"that's what i'd do on my first three days in the white house. on the fourth
day, i'd be assassinated." |
