1) "The US will apologize to the world for its "interference" in
their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin,
Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole
boys', we will never "interfere" again.

Whilst we appreciate your help you didn't win it on your own. you were just the straw that broke its back. remember WW2 was going on a fair while before you joined in.

allowed to sneak through holes in the fence.

I can't see many people disagreeing with you here.

whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France may welcome
them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90
days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist
nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it
yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to
anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

So everyone except the original Indians will be asked to leave? Your country has one major redeeming feature and that is its integrated society from all over teh world. Remember your ancestors were once foreigners in that land of yours.

7) We'll offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel
for their oil. If they don't like it, we'll go some place else. They
can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the
wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

Thats fine, China and India will happily soak up the surplus, we aren't dependant on you to use all the world production. Maybe even fuel prices in teh UK will fall a bit

get very little, if anything.

But from items 2,3 and 4 you obviously don't want to be part of a united 'world' so why should you care when it comes to disasters. per head capita your contributions are often far less than poorer developing countries.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no
one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak
is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a
plan?

I do like this last point. However as a flip, why do most English speaking countries fail miserably to speak other countries languages when in their homelands. If you want to make this happen you should also expect all foreign countries to ignore you when you try shouting at them for a coffee.
