New US Strategy Against Terrorism

I like this new strategy the US is using to combat terrorism – fatten up captured terrorists. What a great idea! Detainees are offered a wide menu of foods, and some are taking advantage with a 4000-calorie diet. The recommended diet for an adult is 2000 calories so all this excess has caused at least one detainee to fatten up to 400 pounds.

Instead of fighting terrorism head on, this indirect method of subjecting terrorist to the excesses of the American way of life may have great success. Changing mindsets and beliefs is hard, but this method slowly breaks down barriers. When you get used to the “good life,” it’s very hard to give it up. After eating well, cruising in the containment camp, and getting chunky, you think these guys would want to go back to fighting a war and living in the desert? I think not. They’d probably get ridiculed by their fellow terrorists and maybe even executed being a symbol of the American way.

Instead, these guys will probably get an American identity and be placed in a small town with a modest job. After work, they can grab a super sized McDonalds meal, get some Starbucks, then go home, watch some reality TV shows, play with their Xbox or Playstation, or surf the Internet for unruly stuff. Such is the American way of life.
