Good stuff all around.

I generally agree with most of the serious, Constitutionally viable positions advocated by you guys, so my post is pretty much the same thing.

If I were president/benevolent dictator I would:

Get the fuck out of Iraq. Yes it will lead to genocide, possibly resulting in a fundametalist regime, but oh well. I never wanted this war, and America never needed it.

Reduce our role in Afganastan to pussy-ass U.N. peacekeepers. As long as there is no genocide, we don't intervene, no matter how corrupt the government becomes.

Make it clear that any future attack against the United States, conventional or otherwise, will provoke a nuclear response. This will be leveled against any government in which even a shread of cuplablility can be established. We'll give them 2 weeks to clear out their capital. We'll go down in history as the biggest assholes ever, but its a hell of a lot cheaper than waging an unwinable conventional war.

Make the income tax "flatter," or more simplified.

Create matching tax breaks for any public or private expenditure which reduces dependency on oil. This can be applied to technology/business practices which reduces energy consumption or provides a viable alternative for fossile fuels. Salaries do not count. I recognize that there is a huge potential for abuse in this, but taxes need to be lowered anyway.

Personally plant a tree a day. I'd encourage others to do the same.

Get all the top scientsts and energy representatives and hammer out a clear understanding of global warming and a conscice policy to deal with its undoubtably inevitable effects.

Start hacking away at Social Security.

Reduce the Department of Education to a monitoring service, if it isn't one already.

Eliminate Homeland security and let the FBI and CIA do their jobs, just have them all meet with the Joint Chiefs once a week.

Change Airforce One to Airforce Fun.
