The U.S. should vacate the Middle East.
The U.S. should practice proportionality.
The U.S. should stop buying foreign oil.
These are the three pillars the U.S. should create for

Tribes there will only wise up if we are gone.
If they wish to destroy each other, we cannot stop them.
If we get out, they may just see the light.

Stop buying foreign oil.
There are myriad reasons. Climate change,
global warming and the ravages of metrosprawl.

We need to build community from scratch.
We need to give up on being "Dallas" and become a truly new frontier.
One that has decent values
like tolerance, democracy, helpfulness and non-idolatry.
