***I initially posted this three years ago (OMG
), I stopped posting because I felt that anytime I entered into a discussion/debate it got me too worked up; especially in regards to the "Holy Land". I still read the posts from time to time and see some of the members are gone, some are new. There are still strong opinions so I thought this would be an interesting post to bring up again. I updated the subjects to our situation now. This isnt about getting into the past right or wrongs or the blame game, but a scenerio that has been given to you and what YOU would do.***
**This isnt intended to slam any other country by using the US Presidency for the thread. If you want to post what you would do if you live outside the US please post.
Politics is a tricky thing no matter the government someone is considering; being a leader over the masses is a task many can critique, but most (I think) would have difficulty doing. A visit to the political area here in the forum and it’s easy to see that no one is going to please everybody. Hopefully leaders are free of corruption and they go on to do they best they can with a vision that’s complementary to the majority. The purpose of this thread is to project your vision. Call it an exercise or just a different arena; instead of condemning the actions of the present or past presidents here’s your chance to voice how you would approach the issues that would shape the world you would like to see.
You have just been elected President of the United States. You have a diverse administration that suggests multiple possibilities for everything. Ultimately the decisions are yours alone to make. Here are the issues. These are general areas so please touch on any issue within them. If your staff missed any feel free to include such issues. It’s up to you Mr./Ms. President- tell us how its going to be done.
