The Reality Doctrine.
Islamic Governments of the world, this is our new doctrine. Keep your thugs and fanatics home or face our wrath. You have been warned and any consequence of this doctrine will be of your doing.
1. Any country that supports terrorism and has, helped or abetted any man or group, that has killed an American here at home or abroad, will be declared a terrorist state.
2. That country, with the approval of Congress, will come under attack from our Air Force and our Navy. The attack will be relentless in taking out government buildings, railroads, bridges, factories, military installations on the ground or on the sea.
3. Every hard target will be given a 2 hour notice to give the dictators time to move their people out of harms way.
4. After the complete annihilation of the specified targets, America will go home and leave your miserable country to rebuild on its own without one dollar of support or one American soldier on the ground. Not one American boy will lose his life or leave a limb in the hell hole of any Islamic country.
5. After 5 years, 10 years or however long it takes to re construct your infrastructure, if you choose to go down the same path, we will be back.
6. Any country that supports terrorism and allows that activity on their soil will receive not one dollar of American money. We will no longer borrow hundreds of billions of dollars and then give it away to our enemies or any country that supports our enemies
Now of course this is just dreaming and the Reality Doctrine will never be implemented. However, if it was, this doctrine would surely be tested by our enemies. But just once.

"Any country that supports terrorism"
You mean that any country that tries to use terror to get it's own way? "Do as I say or else" kind of thing...
"Keep your thugs and fanatics home or face our wrath."
Yep... terrorism is so bad that you will use it yourself.
"Any country that supports terrorism and has, helped or abetted any man or group, that has killed an American here at home or abroad, will be declared a terrorist state."
Wow. It doesn't seem a bit harsh to you that you want to go to war with Britain, Germany, Italy, and Japan all at once(just to name a few)? They've all killed Americans in the past.
Actually, by your definition America itself is a terrorist state as we have the death penalty in some states so we've killed Americans at home.
1. Any country that supports terrorism and has, helped or abetted any man or group, that has killed an American here at home or abroad, will be declared a terrorist state.
- Remember when Reagan covertly sold weapons to Iran, a nation he himself had declared a terrorist state, in order to illegally fund the Contra rebels in Nicaragua? I didn't think so.
Its a good thing for you that you "Reality Doctrine" will never be implemented.
Simple solutions for the simple minded.
And please don't presume to speak for all of America. Use your own pathetic little backwoods militia if you must, but the rest of us Americans would like to have less fingers pointed at us, not more.
> Any country that supports terrorism
Remind me again about the protection the IRA fundraisers in New York, Boston and Philadelphia received.
1. By that definition, even the United States is a terrorist state. Even if you're taking the neocon tack of using "terrorist" as code for "Muslim."
2. Attacks on that scale against that many countries? And I suppose you plan on launching them all at the same time, too. The US may have the biggest military, but it'd still be stretching itself pretty thin here. But what's a few more taxes on the middle class when it's going to supporting mass-murder?
3. Only two hours?! An evacuation on that scale would take DAYS! But I doubt you care much about that. Blood for the blood god and all that.
4. Then they'll just get the support from other nations with sane people in charge. Either that, or they'll get it from terrorist groups, who will get a plethora of new recruits in return, since the remaining citizens of those countries will now have a brand-new reason to hate America.
5. And you don't think they'll use that time to prepare? Or that America will be declared war on in the meantime?
6. Now THAT would be a change.
It's fortunate your Revenge Doctrine will never be implemented, since it would harm America far more than it would harm any terrorist groups. Nietzsche said it best: "Those who would hunt monsters must take great care lest they become monsters themselves."
"Any country that supports terrorism."
Does that include ALL countries that support terrorism? I guess we should start bombing our own country then sine we have supported terrorism multiple times, the most infamous time being when Ronald Reagan sold weapons to one group of terrorists and used the money to provide aide to another group of terrorists.
So, in order to combat terrorism, we need to become terrorists ourselves? Because that's what Jesus would do, right?
This is the same kind of thinking which got us into Iraq and drove our economy into the toilet.
"Any country that supports terrorism and allows that activity on their soil will receive not one dollar of American money. We will no longer borrow hundreds of billions of dollars and then give it away to our enemies or any country that supports our enemies"
That's the closest admission I've heard from a neocon crazy that wars are a drain on our national budget. Too bad he still wants to blow shit up. "You broke it, you fix it", etc.
"However, if it was, this doctrine would surely be tested by our enemies."
With a doctrine like that, one would expect a LOT of enemies, be they Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, secular or anything else.
And, I wonder, does this doctrine also apply to people who bomb abortion clinics? Or does that not count since they're God-fearing red-blooded Americans?
Point 7, John Wayne and Ronald Reagan are cloned and personally fly jets dropping nuclear warheads on them damned muslim countries. Point 8, John Rambo and Chuck Norris will be coptered in to kick the asses of anyone remaining.
Point 9, GAD BLESS AMERICA!!! Everyone salutes the flag.
The Reality Doctrine, also known as the Fantasy Doctrine, or the How to Make Everyone in the World Hate You Doctrine.
Not the least of what's bad about this is how oversimplified it is. Not all Muslim majority countries are the same. And what exactly constitutes "terrorism"? Who exactly are your "enemies"? The first thing you would have to do, if you were being serious, is precisely define these terms.
The Reality Doctrine = Bomb everyone.
And in 5 or 10 years we would have a lot more enemies, and there would be a lot more terrorists for us to deal with.
Are you stupid?
Terrorists would love nothing more than for "the Reality Doctrine" to be introduced- it gives their recruitment propaganda a shot of reality! Your plan would obliterate the hard-won shreds of stability in the Middle East, increasing poverty, religious (and political) fundamentalism and the risk of further activity against us.
*Edit: I don't mean to imply the Americans made the region stable. The Middle East is certainly less chaotic than in the 1970's/1980's, human rights disasters notwithstanding.
"Any country that supports terrorism and has, helped or abetted any man or group, that has killed an American here at home or abroad, will be declared a terrorist state."
One name: Timothy McVeigh.
He had a support network of people who are still around and still believe the American government is their enemy. These types of militias are all over your country.
Are you going to bomb yourself or do you persist in the erroneous notion only brown people can be terrorists?
7. Said country receives aid from someone else, like China. There are, of course, strings attached, but that's another discussion.
8. China has people in said country when the US "comes back". People get hurt.
9. Said country accepts military aid and some more strings. Chinese army moves in to the cheers of the population who remember what happened last time.
10. Someone with the same mindset as the guy who started this mess is running things and a war with China begins.
11. China sells off their US currency reserves (largest in the world) which results in a financial meltdown, centered on the United States. Americans flood across the border into Mexico for a bright, better future...and the healthcare.
12. US currency is dropped as an international standard. US military is ineffective at any offensive actions due to supply issues.
13. The US is now FUBAR. The following economic collapse makes the great depression look like a seasonal downturn.
14. China/US hostilities settle out in a "We don't want to kill you, and you don't want to die" context.
15. Many of the intelligent, educated population leave the country. US demographics shift sharply towards the christian fundamentalist right wing. "Left wing intelligentsia" blamed for all problems.
16. Some groups in the US, pissed off about what has happened to their country, begin taking revenge on China and its allies. Explosions ensue. Individuals defended as "good christian boys who are now in heaven". Life now sucks so badly that blowing yourself up seems like a good idea if you can get into heaven now. Not everybody, of course. Less than 1 percent, and many of them have other untreated issues...but god told them it was okay.
17. China gives two hours notice.
Welcome to the new Iran.
Marshall plan says its a great idea to spend millions of dollars helping people you just firebombed to the stone age.
Also, are you like 14 or something? I mean, I had thoughts like this when I was 14, but then I learned... the world is made of people. Not just... Americans, Europeans, Asians and BARBARIANS!
This "Reality" Doctrine . . . I don't think "Reality" is what you think it is.
And of course, wrecked economy, random wars, etc. would be awesome for everything. Imagine how loved the US would be as it attacked everybody in sight . . .
The US is a terrorist state. You spread terror around the world with your drones and your military, and then you whine like babies when someone strikes back. You torture and murder and your "democracy" is a joke. When, oh when, will you emerge from this dark time?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
