A New Take on Foreign Policy

Dear Mr. President (whoever you may end up being):

I have a new theory on how you need to approach the issue in the middle east and other hotspots throughout the world.

You should immediately withdraw your troops from everywhere and focus them all on an immediate invasion to oust President Marc Ravalomanana from Madagascar. The election of Ravalomanana caused a secession of half of the country, so there is obviously unrest. They are in dispute with France over several islands, and if that is not resolved then Survivor may run out of islands on which to film someday. Plus, they produce marijuana and are a shipment point for heroin. Remember Nancy Reagan: Just say no to drugs.

Once we take over Madagascar, gettting the rest of the world to bow to our wishes will be a piece of cake. I've played the game of Risk, as I'm sure you have, too. (If not, you should check it out sometime, it really is a lot of fun). If you can only have one country on the board Madagascar is, without a doubt, the one country to have. It has little exposure to other countries, so is easy to prevent attack from others, yet is central enough that you can quickly get to those hotspots in the middle east. You don't start in the middle east, because you can get attacked from all sides and will quickly dwindile down to nothing. Start in Madagascar and move your way through Africa with a strong front line and you are sure to win the game.

Finally, it will be easy to get the young kids on board, and we'll all sing a song of support to you as you go about this important task:

Marc Ravalomanana (ba dee bedebe)
Marc Ravalomanana (ba debe dee)
Marc Ravalomanana (ba dee bedebe badebe badebe dee dee de-de de-de-de) (repeats)
Marc Ravalomanana namwomp mwomp ma mo mo mana mo Marc Ravalomanana(ba dee bedebe)
Marc Ravalomanana (ba debe dee)
Marc Ravalomanana(ba dee bedebe bedebe badebe debe de-de de-de-de) (long pause)
...Marc Ravalomanana?

(Thanks to this site for help with the lyrics)

I'm expecting a phone call from Karl Rove shortly to invite me to be a member of the cabinet.

Signed,

A concerned citizen.
