Could it work? A simple solution to the clash of civilizations...
Edited on Sun Jun-13-10 04:33 PM by Boojatta
Step 1: All Americans receive British passports.

Step 2: All existing US passports are declared void.

Step 3: One new, valid US passport is created and given to Salman Rushdie.

Step 4: Eventually, Salman Rushdie will die of old age. Thus, the "death to America" dream will have been fulfilled while simultaneously ridding the world of the author of the notorious Satanic Verses.

6. Well...
they've certainly resumed the Battle of New Orleans, so the Gulf Spill could be considered resumption of the War of 1812.

14. I don't want to rid the world of Salman Rushdie.
Those people can just go clash themselves forever for all I care. :)
