Some common sense to begin restoring America to its former position of respect and admiration:
-
No more drone strikes. They don't stop, but help to make terrorists.
-
Save money and help the cause by closing the drone airbases.
-
Free Guantanamo prisoners which have already been cleared for release. Holding them is an affront to humanity and hypocrisy with regard to our values.
-
Apologize and compensate the families of innocent people hurt or killed by drones or other military action.
-
Withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan.
-
Talk. The Taliban and more rational elements of Al Qaeda have indicated they are open to negotiations. History shows a large percentage of terrorists groups have been dissolved by joining the political process.
-
End support of dictatorships and repressive leaders. Business selling weapons might be good for US weapons makers but not for the rest of us.
-
Support non-violent democracy movements. Chaos and instability only help terrorists.
-
Stop disregarding international law and national sovereignty in killing terrorism suspects.
-
Use foreign aid to support education, healthcare and elimination of poverty.
