PoorToRichoStan

I'm proud of Obama for his recent picking a 'None of The Above' for his choices about dealing with the war in Afghanistan. Here's an op-ium-tion: We have already paid enough time, lives and money to/for/against Afghanistan, why not declare it a territory of the USA and rename it something like PoorToRichoStan and give all the citizens the same status as Puerto Ricans and treat the Taliban as common criminals?

East Dakota?

Middle East Dakota?

Wild Wild West Dakota?

Then they could have an annual parade in NYCNY.

A Terror-itory instead of statehood?

Don't worry, they will kind of get it all back again in 200 years and set up the tourist-trap 23rd century version of whatever a casino is by then ... just whatever makes cents at that time.

This would throw them for a mental spin as well the next time they start to publically chant, "Death To America! ... (?) hold it, dude, we are Americans now".

More conversations as the confused crowd disperses

“Allaha Akbar - God Is Great - Hey look, it already kind of says that on our new American money, - 'In God We Trust' “

“What is that going up over there, a Starbucks?!?!?”
