How do you motivate an entire country to support you? Shoot at them? Bomb them? I don?t generally like it when people do that to me do you? When I get shot at I get really pissed off, it can ruin a perfectly good day!
Until the US government changes the fighting policy to a different tactic, we will never be over with this. This goes for the whole world too. We keep making the same mistakes. We won?t win the hearts and minds of people. People around the world will hate us. This will be just like Israel and Palestine. I just think there has to be a new and better way. We should kill them with kindness, not retaliation.
What would have happened if we had just given people the money and food that it cost to support this war.
Check this out,
We have spent 100 billion on the Iraq war to date. Iraq has a population of 22,219,289 as of a 1997 census. We have spent 4500 US dollars for every man woman and child in Iraq. I just think the resources could have been better spent and saved lives too. I don?t know about you but money motivates people. I think the average Joe Iraqi with a family of four would have been dumbfounded to receive 18,000 USD$.
I know this is a ridicules argument and could never happen, but in my dream, I just see the US on the boarder with a huge pile of money. Fucking 10 stories high. All Iraq has to do is deliver Saddam and the WMD's if they exist. Now that?s done, everyone can go on a one-month vacation! Cool,
Ok, I know, go have another hit from the TBPITFW
Peace all, there just has to be a better way, or we are all doomed!
What?s ultimately stronger in the end? What?s more far reaching? An act of kindness or an act of aggression? What is the solution to war? Winning the hearts and minds of people. Getting the average person to change his mind to support you!
