The "Hulk Smash" Rule
Colin Powell is credited with coming up the "Pottery Barn" Rule of foreign policy, i.e., "You break it, you bought it." The idea is that, if we attack a country, we are then responsible for fixing the place and making it thriving democracy... or at least one that's only dying very slowly like we did with Germany and Japan. This is obviously a dumb policy. As we now know, the American people hate rebuilding operations. If we stay to fix a place, people will complain "quagmire" and constantly whine and annoy the troops. Thus, the policy is not sustainable. I suggest a new foreign policy called the "Hulk Smash" rule. If a country angers us, we smash them. And we have no responsibility to rebuild them since it was their fault for making us angry and causing us to smash them. Because we're the Hulk. Some may say this is an irresponsible policy that will make other countries angry at us, but that's a stupid opinion since other countries are always angry at us. The smart thing to do is then disregard the opinions of foreigners when settling on a foreign policy. Thus, the best policy is to follow the "Hulk Smash" rule in which we kill evil foreigners and then no longer have to worry about the clean up afterwards. 18 Responses To "The "Hulk Smash" Rule"
...Grrr!!!! Plan work for me!!!! Grrrr!!! #1 - Posted by: lonevoice on January 11, 2007 03:00 PMI think the Marshall Plan is what you are referring to. How about this? The Scipio Plan. Level their cities, slaughter their armies and livestock, bulldoze their fields and then salt the earth. Dead, Dead, Dead. #2 - Posted by: Matteus on January 11, 2007 03:08 PMYou have been reading Yourish.com! Plagerism! LOL #3 - Posted by: Robert on January 11, 2007 03:09 PMWe need to go & get all "Hulky" with France. We'd only be doing good in this world by smashing them. Then we could look at the other countries and tell them "You're starting to make me angry..." You know the rest. #4 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 11, 2007 03:45 PMOh sure...and when we aren't stomping some evil regime into Hulka-bits, the country becomes a nerd named "Bruce"...I just couldn't live with that. #5 - Posted by: Gunga on January 11, 2007 03:59 PM"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Sounds like a plan to me. Except that we'll have to get those really stretchy purple pants, so that our gargantuan American penis doesn't flop out when we turn green. I have a problem with wearing purple clothes. #6 - Posted by: IllTemperedCur on January 11, 2007 04:06 PMThis idea actually has great merit. Our military is not for rebuilding I believe the peace corps or some other hippy organization should do it. Why not create a department that specializes in rebuilding bombed out countries. We could call it the Starbucks development team. Bush should be talking about how we removed the regime and back off till we have to put down the next one that acts up. Why is it our job to rebuild? Look at the mess Europe has left around the globe from their imperialism, I don't see them lifting a finger to help and it's their mess. I am for being an isolationist every so often. I think we need to woo the Chinese into being allies. We've never fought them directly in a war. Their communist ties hold them back. We should cozy up to them and remind them how great Russia is doing now. Who would mess with a US Chinese military tag team? #7 - Posted by: LOOMDOG on January 11, 2007 05:28 PMI always liked the 'Conan' plan. There wouldn't be much lamentation goin' on once my giant unit pops out of those purple tights...if you know what I'm sayin'... And that's before I go all Hulkamania on them! I love your plan, Frank! Let's implement it now! #9 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on January 11, 2007 06:58 PMNot to nitpick, but the Conan quote is actually a variation on an aphorism from Genghis Khan. But it's way cooler when Conan the Republican says it. #10 - Posted by: IllTemperedCur on January 11, 2007 06:59 PMWhat? And deny all the dems of the graft money from rebuilding? Not only that, but it would deny the corrupt forgen leadership of their skim! I'd buy that for a dollar! Better than the "Hulk Smash" would be to send Dr. Manhattan. All he has to do is point to blow things up, or better yet, just phase them all to the surface of Mars or the sun (Ref. from "Watchmen"). The Comedian would have some fun as well. #11 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on January 11, 2007 08:42 PMYeah, and England could be like our Rick Jones (showin' my age), and say things like "Whoa now, big fella, take it easy, nobody wants to hurt you...", you know, stuff like that. Wait a minute, even better, how about the Superman Rule? You know, "don't make me mad or I'll just push the Earth right into the Sun, oh you don't think I'll do it? Just watch me..." #12 - Posted by: bunkerboy on January 12, 2007 12:42 AMThor like plan. Thor think more plans like this should be made. Thor ready to spearhead invasion of France, Spain and Germany. Thor already been to Iraq. Not into the heat. Hmmm...women in France are hairier than Thor...Iraqi women hairy, too. only thing that Thor scared of is hairy pits on women. Reminds Thor of mother. Not like talk about mother. #13 - Posted by: Thor on January 12, 2007 01:27 AMI agree 100%. Let the dems rebuild, and we'll destroy. Thor is right, and he gots balls. But you can't really fight with Thor balls. #14 - Posted by: captamerica on January 12, 2007 07:17 AMThe only problem is that the people who won't stand for long, drawn out engagements won't stand for short, brutal ones either. Sigh. We might as well just pack up our weapons and call ourselves "Canada 2" #15 - Posted by: Greg on January 12, 2007 10:07 AMI would like to second the Scipio Plan. Nothing says 'you've pissed me off' like salting your enemies' soil. Of course, we could just replace the salt with radioactive waste, to put a modern twist on things. #16 - Posted by: thegoddessanna on January 12, 2007 01:44 PM//Who would mess with a US Chinese military tag team? //
hey I am still a believer in the Conan rules of war of course I am a realist so the "hulk" rule is cool with me. Although I still think we should at least go with the old school British Colonial rules in that if we have to conquer you you from then on become a colony for US. Since we are america I would throw the bone that if they learned english and US history swore allegiance we then could allow those subjects the honor to become full fledged US citizens. Rome did it. Imagine places like Mexico, Iraq and others with US modeled leadership (after a couple generations of time). America basicly is a hodge podge of peoples so why not just keep adding states. At least then our enemies would understand you only fight the US once and we would get paid back for having to kick these dictators as*es. #18 - Posted by: C-Low on January 14, 2007 07:55 PMPost a comment
