Can Cooperating With Iran Work?

I have my own opinion. I don't think it can. Iran is intent on destabilizing the region and working with them would be a joke. All they would do is string us along and do precisely what they want in the end. I see it as simply kicking the can down the road, leaving an even larger problem for someone else.

Problem 1: Iran and Syria are terrorist-supporting nations whose regimes currently believe they have a greater interest in chaos, violence and dividing the spoils in Iraq than they do in peace, prosperity and unity in Iraq. They also have no interest in helping the western powers emerge anything like victorious in Iraq. That would be a loss for Iran and Syria.

Let's ruin their fun and move the nation of Israel to America. We could give them the entire bottom twenty-mile border of our country so they can build a big canal....bigger than the Panama Canal. They get to keep the shipping fees so they can prosper. In exchange, they handle the illegal immigration problem. And they end the drug trade that keeps Mexicans from getting regular jobs and joining the capitalists by sending out the Kidon to take care of the drug lords.

The Middle East would die of boredom and turn on each other seeing as how they only live to hate.

Oh. Yeah...the stuff about the promised land. It's a question of Semites and semantics: We would just tell them that we promise you this land....and some nice, handy nukes in case you need more'n you've got. Wait....the Mormons say the Israelites were here first. Okay. That solves that little glitch.

Well put, Pheonix. Having already converted a dry wasteland to a first-class country in the ME, they could then devote their genius to doing something about Mexico.

But can we endure the spectacle of Islamists keening, dancing and crushing the last shreds of civilization in their region? That toaster needs to be destroyed, that bottle of aspirin dumped into the auto-da-fe, the hair clippers and soap bars blown apart. They'd be busy for a century.

Can we endure the spectacle of endless street rallies where the rallying cry is 'What the Fuck?!" hahaha.... Let Fox News do a nightly special on it. They can title it: "Another Civilization Down the Drain". Except I'm not sure the word 'civilization' works.......

Oh! Here's a better title: "NO ONE TO HATE" Subtitle: "How the Middle East Slumped Away in Psychotic Mis'ry"

Hmmm...How about something more subtle: "SANDS OF SADNESS" Subtitle: "No One to Hate? Cut Your Own Head Off"
