Maybe We Should Annex All The Troubled States In Mideast. We Could Have More States

[TheMastersNemesis]

That means a bigger Congress and more politicians or some present states could secede. By the time we rebuild all the new states in the Middle East we might have enough money for our present states. They could pay their US taxes and the state of Syria could be legally rebuilt. And out new religious states of Iran, Saudi Arabia could have their own theocracies and the South could secede. If we annexed enough we could still have 50 stars.

There are so many opportunities here. We could use our military to keep peace in these newly annexed states. And we would not have to worry about unemployed vets. We would just give them a lifetime security job. Our defense industry would be able to be in business permanently making weapons.

We then would own all the oil and export to the rest of the world at a premium price and pay off all of our debt. The funeral industry would be a growth industry. And we could have Christian and Islamic or other religious madrasas because religion and politics would be married.

Things are getting so surreal any more anything is possible or feasible. We might even convert the terrorists because they would be part of our country now.

1. That didn't exactly work out to our benefit in Iraq.

And annexation is all that we were really trying to do there. Make the Iraqis and their oil American possessions.

The Iraqis just weren't keen on joining a nation of soda-guzzling, overweight Wal-Mart shoppers...

3. That didn't work so well for the British either.

Nor for any empires before or since, eventually.
