Grand Strategy

It seems to me that the Bush-Christian-Fundamentalist approach to the coming War of Civilizations is misguided and that we need to adopt a different approach. The current approach is brutally direct based on the superiority of Western Culture. I think that is the wrong approach. I would be more in favor of a sly approach to this war. What I would do is create a kind of 'detante' with the Muslims as I transplanted Peyote Cactus into the Arabian Desert. Once my biologists had informed me that the locals were doing Cactus for Religious Purposes I would innundate them with Western Propaganda to the effect that Materialism was the True Path, and that God was speaking to them from the desert. My message to them would be that there is no Heaven of Seventy Virgins after all but only This Life. I would do the same with the Muslim populations who live in geographical areas with weather conditions supportive of Psilocibe Mexicana. In short, I would take maximum advantage of Entheogens to ensure the ultimate victory of Western Values on the Good Earth. It is a Grand Strategy which may be far superior to the strategy now in place.

A plus to this strategy is that our neighbor, Mexico, would be recognized as a fundamentaly important piece in this Struggle of Civilizations.

But I am not running for president. Please do not contact me regarding these issues.
