How to End the War Tomorrow

I know how we can end our part of the war in Iraq tomorrow, maybe even before 5:00 this afternoon. All we have to do is put the nation on a war footing. (1) Immediately begin rationing Gasoline, Diesel and other petroleum products. (2) Suspend all amateur and professional athletic competitions until after the war is ended. That would include NCAA, NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL and NASCAR. (3) Redirect all alcohol for war energy use. No beer, wine or whiskey for sale to the public. (4) Ration meat, sugar, and chocolate. (5) Limit the amount of electricity that can be used for TV, video games, and computers to one hour per person per day.

I guarantee that if we do these 5 things, the US participation in Iraq will come to a screeching halt.

At Linda's suggestion, I emailed this post to the Birmingham News . They printed it in their Opinions column under the title "Five Steps To End Involvement In Iraq" on Monday March 26, 2007.
