It has come time to seriously discuss World Peace and how America can lead the way by example. Our current situation, which has us involved in an immoral & illegal war of aggression and the occupation of a sovereign nation, all based on lies, is NOT the way to get there.
The first thing that we have to do is bring all of our troops home. From everywhere! We will offer a "Pledge of Peace" to not just our allies, but to ALL nations and governments and we will work to get everyone to sign on. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PLEDGE OF PEACE
We, the Government/Nation of __________________, pledge that we will not use our military forces in an aggressive manner to any nation, period.
We, the Government/Nation of __________________, pledge that we WILL help defend ANY nation who asks for our help against any other nation, including our current allies, who has broken or not signed this Pledge of Peace and is involved in aggressive acts of violence and/or war toward a peaceful nation.
We, the Government/Nation of __________________, pledge to end the arms race and to work for peaceful solutions to our problems.
We, the Government/Nation of __________________, pledge to disarm and destroy all nuclear weapons that we currently have and to end production of them immediately.
We, the Government/Nation of __________________, pledge to become leaders of the Peace Coalition and to lead by example.

Now you might be asking "won't this mean that we have to scale down the military and make a lot of people lose their jobs"? The simple answer is "No". Now you might ask "well, what are going to *do* with all these military guys"? The answer to that is "we keep them working". How do we keep them working? There's an answer to that, also...
We can keep our Army and Marine Infantry & Recon troops busy patrolling our borders on land and we can do away with the Border Patrol, or at least scale it down to a minimum. The Air Force would patrol the borders by air, giving support to the guys on the ground. Our Navy will patrol our coast lines with fleets in the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific.
Other troops will help with the restoration of America from within. Construction Battalions can help rebuild inner cities and blighted, decaying neighborhoods. Surely if Congress can find trillions of dollars to sustain a war, they can find the money to sustain peace, right? This could also be a Government Investment opportunity. The Government will be given the right to claim ownership of all abandoned homes, office buildings, apartment complexes, schools, stores, businesses, hospitals, condominiums, hotels, motels, etc., so they can begin the restoration process.
This can also help rebuild our economy because all materials used in the rejuvenation of blighted cities will be purchased from local vendors and suppliers. Locals can also be hired to help on construction sites if the military needs extra help.
Once these blighted and decaying cities are rebuilt, the government can either keep control of these buildings, or they can sell them at fair market value, with low interest self held loans to individuals. The Government can and should retain ownership of some rejuvenated homes and apartment complexes to start housing our homeless population.
Together we can rebuild America and ensure peace and prosperity. It takes a lot less effort than keeping a war going, and EVERYONE benefits from it.
PEACE!
