OK, let me start by saying that I am a passionate & patriotic red blooded American & fully support our fine country, the good ole US of A. However, I do have many ideas which I consider progressive that I think could help our country. We have been at war (which many say is a war we can't win) for the better part of the last 10 years. I very rarely hear any good news about this war and our media continuously reports on soldiers getting hurt or killed overseas. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything our military forces have done for us...it just saddens me each time I hear of our young soldiers getting killed. As a result, I would like to propose a way to end this war.

     If I were President I would propose an immediate withdrawal of all US troops from overseas. I would then offer all inmates who wanted to get released early from prison a full pardon and a plane ride over to the middle east. The plan would be to just drop them off & let them fend for themselves. We would give them a list of terrorists to kill & any prisoner that retrieves the head of a terrorist would get, say, maybe $100,000 to start their new lives (in the middle east of course). So, let's see...from where I stand this would put an end to prison overcrowding, the high costs of a prison, and also the high cost of running the war. So....whadda ya think? Makes sense to me.
