Silver's Surrender Strategy

Ron Silver joins the blogosphere at Pajamas Media today by offering what he thinks would be a winning strategy for the war on terror -- surrender. In a satirical look at making the world like America, Silver offers a six-step plan to boost our popularity by simply giving terrorists what they want:

The presidential electoral cycle is upon us. That means conventions. Conventions have platforms. I propose a platform that will make the world like us again. Just like they always did.

It may take 12 steps to get clean and sober, but only 6 to make the world realize just how super the U.S. can be.

The strategy? Give Andalusia, aka Spain, back to the Islamists, as well as the Balkans and eastern Europe. It used to be theirs anyway, and this can be like reparations! Withdraw from the Pacific, since we just annoy the Chinese. Get rid of NATO, even if the French want to join (or maybe especially if they want to join). Open up all our borders and let people come from the entire hemisphere -- and bring Hugo along for the ride. Let Iran have its nukes, and if that's not enough for them, bust up Israel, too.

Of course, Silver just wants to make a point through satirical exaggeration. Unfortunately, on some of these points, some extremists on the Left might just take this seriously. Be sure to read all of Silver's hilarious "proposal", and welcome him to the world of blogging.
