Solutions to America's Problems-Ending the War in Iraq

Ok getting back to some of the answers or solutions to the problems facing America, and our Presidental candidates today... Let's start with the war in Iraq, the war, that Bush and Cheney got us into for no good reason, Oil, is the reason. They thought, that they would take over the country, and be getting free Oil for their rich oil company friends, who of course would not pass on these savings to us... This was after all the lies about what a killer Saddam was, well Bush and Cheney are worse, they are reponsible for the deaths so far of over 3800 Americans, and over 13000 being maimed... for no good reason, all for Oil.... Of course they told us lots of lies, which were all made up, you notice Powell got out, as soon as he knew this was all; lies, did not want any more of it... To this day I am astounded, that Bush and Cheney have not beeen Impeached...plenty of reasons to do so. Well we are in so deep now, there is no easy way out, and they want I believe another 470 Billion dollars for the war in Irag for the coming year, are they insane? He vetoed a bill to fund child medical care, because they were asking for 45 Billion over the next 5 yrs, but that was too much to 'waste', as far as he was concerned, the war ok, spend it all. This administration has cut or eliminated over 200 social programs since being in office, but the war must go on....the alleged war on terror, what a fiasco, and what a lie.... They created this war, and the Terrorists are flocking too it, while the sucurity of this nation is in dire need of protection, that is does not have. Ok I am digressing again. Ok what to do to end the war in Irag... First off, every nation in the region, the entire middle east, that includes, Irag, Iran, Saudi Arabia, (where by the way, 15 of the 9/11 terrorists came from), Isreal, Syria, Turkey and all other nations in that region, have to send their Ambassadors to a High Summit meeting, to be held in the Middle East somewhere. Then they have to start using some common sense, first to end the war in Irag, then to try and settle all the differences in the Middle East, to work out the other problems facing the region... Ok, the big solution to the war is this, they have to come up with a working plan whereby all three major groups get roughly a third of Irag, making sure that each also gets approximately a third of the Oil revenue... This is the real reason they can't get peace there, they are all worried about losing land and oil revenue... Once that is agreed upon, it is up to the Ambassadors to come up with a new working government for Irag, helping to select leaders who will actually do what they should be doing, that is getting that country back to a more normal state, with a unified government, with representatives from each of the three new regional governments, that have been set up. Look at these new regions as simply 'state's, with their own government, and still with a National government, that they all have a voice in... Once this is done, a United Nations Peacekeeping force should be brought in, made up of mainly Middle Eastern persons, with each country in the region, sending troops that will make up this Peace Keeping Force, most of which will be Islamic, probably at least 60% to 70%. This way, there won't be any of the "infidels are trying to take over nonsense". We then can have a graduated pull out of all American Forces, and the token forces that are there with us, with say 1/2 within, 6 mos., this will give those countries time to put togeter the new Peacekeeping force, which should be about 1/2 the size of the exiisting forces there now... They will be there to help the locals protect business, and rebuilding, as well as the general populations, and of course each of the borders, to keep out any futher terroristss, and other undesirables, from infiltrating the country of Irag. The Peace Keeping Force, will also drive out all those that continue to try and stop the Peaceful movement, that the goverment, has agreed to; this of course is once again, to be done with the Irag Army, and Police helping, under the direction of the United Nations Peace Keeping Force. . Within a year, we can have all the American troops out of there, as well as all token allies... We will offer to assist in any way we can, but will not tell them what to do... Once we are gone, so is the excuse that the "Infidels", are trying to take over and run their country. This will allow time to get the New Government of Irag to get it all together, fine tune the agreement, and get the rebuilding in full gear...If they want Peace bad enough, then they should be the ones to obtain it.. We cannot give them Peace, as with all supposed revolutions, it is the People, who really decide, and the People who really make it happen, not the army.... In the meantime, till it is all settled, and the government is fully functional, the United Nations will impose sanctions, as well as guard the ports, to be sure the oil is safe going out of the harbors, which is their main money maker. We need an end to this senseless war, and really get on with the War on Terror, with the battle at home, of really making us safe here.... Getting those great Americans home so they can try to lead normal lives again, and not be fighting a war, that is not our war, and never was... We have enough battles to fight, right here at home, and now. I will be addressing a New Taxation Plan, that is totally fair to all, especially the working classes who make less that $100,000 a year. In addition I will outline a National Healthcare Plan that includes Prescriptions, how to make it work, and it will cover all who want it, at a very reasonable cost.... Possibly other things too....Well stay tuned for me my fellow Americans.... I may be a Lone Wolf on this, but we shall see... Aoo solutions are logical, and very easily implemented with the people behind them....

Solutions to America's Problems-continued

Last night (1st week in Nov.) I watched the Democratic Presidential Debate, and I cannot figure out why it is so hard for even these candidates to come up with real answers and solutions to the problems facing America. It seems that all of them still don't want to really commit themselves, to givig us the answers to real questions, like, how to fix the healthcare crisis in this country, or the totally outdated Income Tax System, or the Irag war. Before I go on with my answers to these and other problems, let me take a moment to digress a bit... I am a 61 yr. old man, who remembers what it was like say back in the 60's and 70's. Bavk then just as it was in the 50's too, the average household only had one bread winner.... Back in the 60's and 70's most people owned a home, had a car, maybe two, or a small boat, had all the appliances, and a big t.v., or two. Mom was home to get the kids off to school, or to watch them, if they did not go to school yet. She was there to give them guidance, to make sure they were safe, and usually prepared supper for all. the husband, the breadwinner, would come home, and they would sit around the table, and have supper together, then usually would relax watching nice family shows, or maybe go out play some ball, or something similar.... Where have those days gone, and why? Back then, this country and the poeple in it, made all the things we needed and wanted. We manufactured, all the appliances, all the cars, all the clothes, all the shoes, all the toys, all of the things we allowed the companies to ship overseas, and the reason for this, I do not understand. We were told, it got to be too expensive, well we did it for over 190 yrs, just fine, we made all the stuff, and we could afford it to, and most of us, were doing just fine.... Oh occasionally, if we really wanted something quite expensive, like a new car, or a pool or something like that, dad would have to get a 2nd part-time job, for a while, or mom would get one.... but we all lived quite well, for middle Americans. Those days have gone, the way of most of the things we grew up with and learned... I remember myself for example, at the age of 20, buying my first brand new car, and paying cash for it, yes rathrer unusual, but I did it... The cost for this brand new 1967 Chevelle Malibu super sport with a 350 engine was only $3300 that included taxes . Now that same vehicle costs about 8 to 10 times that much.....and yet the minimum wage had only gone up about 3 times from back then.....Why is that? I think the answer is contained in one word....Greed. The greed of the American companies to get more profit out of their products. Except for the Automobile companies, which allowed their workers to be making far too much money for what they did, and also gave them fantastic benefits.....and not keeping up with the times, and making vehicles that could really compete with the imports, that were coming into this country, back in the 70's and 80's; well that was sheer stupidity. There is no excuse for what has happened to the rest of the Industry, and manufacturing that this country use to have, whick made better products, and reasonabley priced, that most of us could afford.....We stood by and allowed the big shots at the top of these companies to real fantastic profits, at the expense of the American worker, and we are all still paying for that today. Look at the airlines, gone is Pan American, the founding airline, gone is TWA, and others, why, there was no need for that, but poor management, and greed. Look what they did at American Airlines, and others, they gave wage cuts, to them, stole their benefits, and yet the one at the top get plenty of the cream anyway.. This is true throughout the business world, whether it is a profit or non profit business, the workers do not get a fair share, yet the guys at the top, make fantastic salaries, and get even more fantastic bonuses.....why is that?

Solutions to America's Problems

HERE I AM ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER AND PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO THE BIG PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA, WHICH NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH....WONDER WHY? I am 61 yrs. old, and have seen a lot over the years, most is quite disapointing. I will lay out my solutions to the biggest problems facing America today. Most are quite simple, all are logical, and can be implemented quite easily, if the People (that is the other 85% of the population), really want it. I will be adding to this blog, over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for each installment, and feel free to

Well it seems that old Hilliary Clinton, may get another chance to run her Health Care program, I heard today, that the old one, has over 3 million pages; what a waste... I will present mine, and it will take no more than a 1/2 dozen pages.... I jsut don't understand, why we can't have a President with some real guts.l Any one that wins the election, can achieve what they really want, what they promise, it all starts for real in the Firs full Nationwide address to the congress and the people. All he or she has to do, is clearly state what they want to do, intend to do, outlining that program, and how it will work...that he will present these items to Congress at the earlist possible date, officially, then give them 60 days to act on them... He will ask the American people to comment on his ideas and plans in the meantime also, and ask them to also write their congreessmen, and senators regarding their thoughts and ideas on what the President has presented to them. Then in 60 days he goes back to congress, and asks them what is the vote, on his plans....If it has been shown that the Ameriacan people support his ideas and plans, then he must have the guts to do the following if it has not been acted upon, and voted on yet. He goes back on the t.v., and clearly tells, the American people his ideas, his bills, his programs have not been acted upon, or were rejected by certain Congressmen and woman....and then Name them on the air, so that all the people know who are the ones, holding up what they Want... This way there will be immediate feedback from the people, and this time the 85% of the people that really matter in this country will really have a true Voice in their government.. and know who is preventing them from getting what the really Want... Of course like I say, it will take a lot of guts by the President to do this, but it will get immediate response, and I am sure also immediate results. BNy doing so, the President can get his idea, programs, solutions into law, and started in motion at least within his first 6 mos...and fully working within his first year..... He should do this each time he has made a promise, and his programs, idea, those that the people back, are made known to the People, so they are made aware of what is really going on, and finally really get things done..... Well enough for now...be back later with more... John M. Roberts
