A few things I would like to see...

I would like to see the US opening Western style Universities in Iraq and Afghanistan. These areas never had a period of enlightenment, and I think that inserting a driving catalyst such as the Classical Education of a liberal arts college, complete with capstone course and all, would be able to make this happen in ways in which all the troops in the world cannot. After all, this is one reason why Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, and Turkmenistan are resistant to Muslim fundamentalism, where Afghanistan is not. The soviets came in and started Russian schools, which became the ticket to success. I think that we should experiment with this model.

I would like to see cops drop military rank designations. They are not military. They are civilian. They are not subject to the UCMJ, and it foments poor relationships with the rest of the citizenry. Being called "Officer Jones" is okay, so are Sherriff, and Deputy. That being said, we need to drop stuff like "sergeant", "captain," and "Lieutenant." Along those lines, we also need to drop the associated rank insignia that are so prevalent in the police culture now. They get to wear a badge or they get to wear sergeant stripes, but they do not get to wear both.

I would like to see a ballot option in the general elections which lets me vote against the DNC nominee. With Bob Barr throwing his hat in the ring, and McCain unilaterally, and condescendingly claiming that the "global warming debate is over," I looked over Mr. Barrs positions, and see a lot that I really like. So, with the GOP nominee staking out a position that I disagree with and a libertarian staking positions that I do, this may be the final straw. I do not want to see the GOP succeed anymore. For too long, they have abandoned the principles of Reagan, and tried to pander and compromise their way to power. This is why they are about to be handed a complete rout. After the elections two years ago, where they were handed solid defeats across the board, they found themselves in a hole, and their response was to dig faster. No, I do now want to see the GOP succeed; they do not deserve it. And they will not. What I want to see, though, is that the DNC fail, and this is unlikely to happen. Sadly, I will probably end up splitting the difference where I will vote for McCain, but send money to the libertarians.

I would like to see someone place an EFP IED in Code pinks permitted parking spot in front of the USMC recruiting office, and then see what they want to do about it that does not include using men who volunteered to pick up a weapon and go in harm's way.

I would like to see John Browning brought back from the dead in order to hand Gaston Glock his ass. I figure that it would take Browning two weeks to learn the progress that has been made in materials, and then six weeks later, we would have a pistol, rifle and shotgun that would make the glock, the mossberg, and the AR obsolete.

I would like to see these commercials for baby boomers to be yanked from the air. Trying to rewrite the sixties as this great evolutionary leap in mankind is crap. You guys really screwed things up with your "free love," "Turn on, tune in, drop out," and "if it feels good, do it" attitudes. If we survive your fuck-ups it will be entirely due to the efforts of diligent and courageous men and women like the fine Americans whom you spat upon.
