An alternative solution to the problems in the Middle East

Recent violence in the Middle East got me thinking about what could be a long term solution, and I think I’ve come up with a solution that could actually work. Here’s how it would work:

1. The US would create a new state called Israel: take a chunk out of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming – these states are vast areas of nothingness to begin with so it’s unlikely that they would miss anything.
2. The Israeli population would move to this new state and with the influx of Israeli technology and financing, there would be a boom in the mid-west. This boom would have a cascading effect on the US economy by creating new jobs and helping reduce the trade and budget deficit.
3. The Palestinians would move in to erstwhile Israel and not have to live in refugee camps anymore.
4. The whole arrangement would be underwritten by one basic premise: There would be no more killing. If the Palestinians or other Arab-Islamofascist groups took another life, the US would drop an H-bomb in the Middle East and turn the place into a giant parking lot. Deterrence works – look at what happened during the Cold War.

See…everybody wins! Israelis live in peace, Palestinians live in peace, the US economy get’s a giant boost, and Americans get jobs. I’m a f***ing genius!! Where’s my Nobel Prize??
